INJURY: Frank Lampard

Friday November 21,2008

CHELSEA'S injury nightmare continued this week when Frank Lampard withdrew from England’s squad for the friendly with Germany on Wednesday because of a rib injury.

Lampard looks set to miss the clash with Newcastle United on Saturday.

Striker Didier Drogba starts a three-match ban but Chelsea hope to have Joe Cole (hamstring) and goalkeeper Petr Cech (calf) back in the squad.

Ashley Cole (foot), Alex (thigh), and Juliano Belletti (ankle) are also doubtful while Michael Essien and Franco Di Santo are definitely out.

Centre-half Ricardo Carvalho is also likely to miss out with a knee problem.

Steven Taylor (abdominal muscle) is still out, leaving Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear to chose two central defenders from Fabricio Coloccini, Sebastien Bassong and Claudio Cacapa.
