The Stamford Bridge favourite is being put through an intense fitness routine for him to get back his first-team berth under Andre Villas-Boas.
While his teammates were away on international duty against Netherlands, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 was back home trying to shed the extra pounds, it has been revealed. England lost 2-3 to Arjen Robben’s Oranje in a thrilling encounter.
Lampard has found first team starts hard to come by under the club’s young manager, Andre Villas-Boas, with many pointing out his lethargic outings from the earlier part of the season as a possible reason.
The fact that his limited outings in Chelsea colours hindered his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 outings clearly didn’t go down well with the talismanic attacker. If reports are to be believed, Lampard has decided to take the problem head on.
Stuart Pearce’s England were humbled by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753. In the meanwhile, Lampard completed 90 minutes of intense training at Chelsea’s Cobham training centre, according to Goal.com.
With 17 points separating the blues from league leaders Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are certainly out of the Premier League title race. But their poor form might also cost them a Champions League place in the upcoming season: Villas-Boas’ men are fifth in the
rankings, level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal but down due to an inferior goal difference.
Their Champions League run this season is also set to finish early after a 3-1 away defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. However, a fit and in-form Lampard can certainly turn the result around with his magic.
Furthermore, Lampard, who became the only midfielder to have scored more than 10 goals in 9 successive seasons, will need to be in full form if Chelsea are to outrun http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in fight for the fourth place.
