Lampard suffers new injury blow
Injured Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard faces a further two-week lay-off after tearing his thigh muscle for a second time during training.
Lampard, who has been out since Boxing Day, is now a doubt for England's match with Switzerland on 6 February.
Chelsea boss Avram Grant said: "Frank's injury is a little bit more complicated than we thought. He has torn his thigh muscle for a second time.
"I think it could be between a few days or two weeks from now."
606: DEBATE
Are Chelsea missing Lampard?
Grant had hoped Lampard would be fit enough to face Everton in Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Goodison Park.
Chelsea go into the match with a 2-1 lead after the first leg at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago.
