Frank Lampard To Miss Chelsea's Next Three Games Following Setback In Recovery


Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is believed to be in line to miss the club's next three games owing to his injury recovery problems.

Goal.com UK had previously revealed exclusively that the 32-year-old had aggravated his groin injury during training, amid fears that the England international's fitness related problems could continue further.

The former West Ham United midfielder last played when the Blues beat Stoke City by a 2-0 margin, as he hobbled off the pitch owing to an injury.

Following surgery to correct a hernia problem, Lampard was to return to make an appearance against his former club West Ham earlier this month.

But it now appears that the setback that occurred in training may see the player remaining sidelined for a protracted period, as The Guardian reports that the midfielder is likely to miss the west London club's next three matches.

Chelsea travel to play Manchester City on Saturday, before hosting Olympique Marseille at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League. This is then followed by a blockbuster clash with Arsenal.
