They havent been forced to do anything. Theyve clearly decided to go down that route with Frank Lampard.
Yes the embargo has played some part in that decision but the kids are still being picked ahead of experienced players and players who cost them a lot of money.
Theyve lost Hazard and Luiz, one of them they didnt want to, one of them was told he wasnt going to be first choice anyway.
They have plenty of experience in Hazards position - Willian and Pedro - and they signed that Pulisic before the ban, so they didnt have to go down the kids route.
