Frank Lampard is expected to return to the Chelsea side this week as the Champions League group stages resume.
The Blues are away to Valencia on Wednesday night and Lampard, dropped for the second match in a row against Swansea in yesterday's 4-1 win will return – or will he?
Chelsea boss Andreas Villa-Boas gave his clearest indication that his veteran midfielder, 33, still has the game and ability to get back into a Chelsea starting 11.
“As for Lampard’s position, well, we played 120 minutes on Wednesday night [against Fulham in the Carling Cup..
"Lampard was forced to come on too.
“So we put nine fresh players out today from Wednesday and now we will make another decision for the team to face Valencia.
“I don’t know if Frank is happy about it [being out of the side] – but there is nothing to speculate about – Frank is a magnificent player and will be back in the side sooner than you [the press] expect.”
So there you have it, lamps will either play against valencia ot not.
