Despite the claims of Didier Drogba in this morning’s papers, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed in this afternoon’s press conference that Frank Lampard will remain on spot-kick duties against Wigan.
Direct quotes from Ancelotti on the matter are pretty scarce but you can find confirmation of the statement in the Daily Mirror’s report from today’s conference.
Lampard owners will breathe a collective sigh of relief no doubt, although it will be interesting to see the tussle with Drogba should Chelsea earn a penalty having already established a lead against Wigan.
