(Reuters) - Ajax's exploits last season is proof that a young squad can go far and Chelsea will look to them for inspiration when the two teams meet in the Champions League on Wednesday, the Premier League club's manager Frank Lampard said on Tuesday.

A young Ajax side under Erik Ten Hag upset heavyweight teams such as Real Madrid and Juventus in the competition's knockout stages last season before their fairytale run was ended by Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals.

"We are in a place here that is steeped in history of bringing young players through. We have a long way to go to do that, but in the short term I am happy with what we have. Lampard said he was aware of how they have adapted despite losing last season's standout players Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong to Juventus and Barcelona respectively.
