Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Frank Lampard will be fit for the Premier League clash against West Ham on Saturday after recovering from a hernia operation.
The midfielder went under the knife in Germany two-weeks ago, ruling him out of England's Euro 2012 qualifying games, but is expected to be ready for the trip to Upton Park.
The Italian revealed to the Daily Star on Sunday: "For sure, Frank will be fit for the West Ham game."
And Ancelotti denied that Lampard deliberately put club before country after the 32-year-old pulled out of the national squad for the matches against Bulgaria and Switzerland.
"No, we didn't decide at the start of the season to do this now," Ancelotti added.
"After the Stoke game, Frank was in a lot of pain.
"So he decided, after talking to the club doctor, to resolve and remove the problem immediately."
