Frank Lampard is out of Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second
leg against Everton after tearing his thigh muscle again in
training.
Chelsea coach Avram Grant was hoping that Lampard would have been
fit enough to return but instead he confirmed the England
midfielder could be out for a further fortnight as a result of his
latest setback.
Chelsea are also without captain John Terry (foot) and Andriy
Shevchenko (back) but Shaun Wright-Phillips trained on Tuesday and
could be in the squad despite hurting his ankle in the league win
over Birmingham.
Grant said: "All I can say about his (Lampard's) injury is that he
is not available for the moment but we hope he will be soon as
possible. It is a little bit more complicated than we
thought.
"But I think he will be back soon. He has torn his thigh muscle for
a second time and I think it could be between days or two weeks
from now."
