Chelsea players fear the FA have done them no favours slapping Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney with a two-match ban.
Frank Lampard admits he is worried about a Champions League backlash in tonight's quarter-final clash at Chelsea.
Lamps said last night: "Wayne is always a very competitive player and there is never a good time to be playing against him.
"But there's a chance that the ban might spur him on even more. When you get negative headlines like he's had it can make you more of a threat.
"It's not for me to say if I was surprised by the charge. The FA have made their decision and I think United have accepted it.
"But Wayne is a fantastic player and he'll definitely be a threat against us."
