Lampard likely to miss derby clash

Frank Lampard is almost certain to miss this weekend’s FA Cup fourth-round clash at QPR.

The Chelsea midfielder limped off with a calf injury during Saturday’s goalless draw at Norwich.

And a scan has revealed that Lampard suffered a small muscle tear, meaning he is likely to sit out the game at Loftus Road.

Lampard did not travel with the Chelsea squad for a five-day trip to Mallorca but could fly out to join them later this week.
