Frank Lampard has revealed he rarely speaks with Jose Mourinho, since he left Chelsea last summer.
Mourinho allowed the England international leave Stamford Bridge after his contract ran out and brought in Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona to replace him.
Lampard scored for Manchester City in their 1-1 draw with the Blues last September and came off the bench in the 77th minute as they drew 1-1 again last weekend at Stamford Bridge.
“I don’t want to try to say that there’s any issue at all,” he said after the match.
“I got a text at Christmas, I texted him back. We spoke in the dressing room, ‘How’s the family?,’ the usual.
“We are grown men, you know what I mean? We are at different football clubs. I’m sure we are big enough that none of this is going to get in the way of our relationship and how we are personally.
“We remain close. This is football, it’s sport and I haven’t spoken to him that much recently.
“I don’t think there’s room for bitterness and if there is then I’ll deal with that down the line.”
