Pressure mounts on Chelsea's midfield - Time for McEachran?

This afternoon Chelseafc.com has confirmed that Frank Lampard has suffered another muscle problem in his groin that will keep him out for another 2 to 3 weeks!.

With Lampard now out and Essien suspended for three games, the pressure is mounting on our midfield. With Zhirkov, Mikel and Ramires being the most likely starters you have to wonder if Carlo will be able to stick with these three and if they can up their game for what is now important games for Chelsea. We simply cannot afford to drop points.

So I am asking the question to the Chelsea fans:

Is it time for Josh McEachran to be handed a start?

I believe and I mean no disrespect to who we are playing against, that now is the time to give young Josh a start in one of the games. What do you people think?

KTBFFH.
