Chelsea manager Frank Lmpard says he will not hold talks with 18 year old winger Callum Hudson-Odoi about diving.

The winger was last Saturday booked for diving in Chelsea's 4-2 win over Burnley after going down in the box.

Initial footage showed the Chelsea player was caught by the trailing leg of Tarkowski but upon replay you could see the Burnley defender pulling away his leg but Matt Lowton shoved the Chelsea winger from behind.

After consultation with the VAR the referee annulled the penalty awarded Chelsea and booked the young English born Ghanaian for diving.

Burnley's manager Sean Dyche who is a self anointed anti-diving crusader tore into the Chelsea youngster saying it serious If the future of the game like Hudson-Odoi turn to diving.

But Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has been in support of his player insisting he never dived as the player felt a shove from behind.

Nothing, I've said nothing. I didn't feel the need to," replied Lampard when asked what he had said to Hudson-Odoi.

"I asked him on the day of the game, straight afterwards, after my press, he said he got a touch".

"Clearly when you see it back from behind he gets a hand on his back. I know it's light".

"I'm not saying it's a definite penalty but it's not (a dive). I'm not sure if Sean had maybe watched it back and all the angles when he spoke because it wasn't a dive as such".

"If that becomes a dive you will start analysing every bit of contact. That is the game, those are the grey areas. It was nowhere near a clear cut issue."

Chelsea will on Saturday take on bottom of the table side Watford in the late kick off game at the Vicarage road.
