Lampard fit for Blues
-
Frank Lampard is fit to play against Watford, with Chelsea insisting the midfielder had no quarrel with missing England's win over Andorra.
In training prior to Wednesday's 3-0 success in Barcelona, Lampard suffered a fractured wrist after being struck by a shot from Wayne Rooney.
He watched from the stands as England ground out three Euro 2008 qualifying points, but reports claimed Lampard wanted to return home.
However, Chelsea assistant manager Steve Clarke is adamant the Premiership champions did not ask to fly the player back on a private jet.
And Clarke also confirmed that Lampard had no problem with Steve McClaren's decision not to risk him against Andorra.
"The boy was injured and he couldn't play in the match," said Clarke said to it's website.
"The decision was taken not to play him and not to risk him.
"He was happy with that decision and is now happy to be back here at Chelsea.
"It was never an issue, we never asked him to come back and he didn't ask to come back.
"He stayed with the England squad to support the team, that's the end of the matter."
Clarke also confirmed that Lampard is fit to face Watford on Saturday, live on PremPlus, and will wear a protective cast on his injured wrist.
He added: "He's trained the last couple of days with a cast on and he feels much more comfortable with the injury, and he'll play." -
