Lampard Out of Wolves Visit

Filed under: Fantasy Football Team Selection, Injury News, Team News - Posted by: Mark

Frank Lampard will miss Chelsea’s trip to Wolves this weekend with a virus. As reported by Greek Fan’s tweet earlier, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti broke the news in this morning’s press conference.

The Chelsea boss is predicting that Lampard will make a return for the Champions League tie with Inter in midweek but the midfielder will play no part at Molineux.

Lampard’s absence will likely see another start for Joe Cole, with Deco also ruled out. Ancelotti also seems set to go with Ballack and Mikel in midfield, with Malouda or Kalou competing for a start on the left.

This setback will be significant for Lampard owners. Chelsea will miss gameweek 29 due to to the FA Cup programme, so many will be considering using this opportunity to get rid with a straight swap with Arsenal’s Fabregas the likely option of choice.
