Lampard back in training

Frank Lampard is back in training at Chelsea with a view to playing against Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Lampard missed Chelsea's 2-1 Barclays Premier League win over Manchester United on Saturday following the death of his mother Pat from pneumonia last Thursday, but the England midfielder is understood to have trained on Sunday and re-joined the squad.

Meanwhile, it is understood that Chelsea have yet to receive a request from the Football Association for the CCTV footage of the post-match scuffle between a number of United players and their groundstaff.

United defender Patrice Evra is believed to have been at the centre of the row and the 27-year-old is expected to give his account of the incident to officials of the Old Trafford club on Monday.

It is also believed that Chelsea and Manchester United chief executives Peter Kenyon and David Gill have discussed the incident.
