Injury forced Chelsea midfielder, Frank Lampard, and defender, Branislav Ivanovic, to be out of action for around a month, may be till the end of January. Club manager, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed the news. They suffered injury during Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday. Due to their injury, they could not take part in the Blues’ impressive 3-0 win over Southampton.
The 35-year-old English midfielder, Lampard, hurt his muscle and could not play in the second-half while Serbia defender, Ivanovic, sustained a knee injury in the first-half.
