Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says he doesn't need to be rotated out of the team.

He admits he would much rather be on the field.

Lampard said: "It's just how I feel personally but I do think it's over-played when people talk about having to play so many fixtures.

"Everyone is different - but I think my body responds to playing regularly and I've been very lucky in my career with that.

"Some players might argue differently but it's part of the game to play regular fixtures in all competitions if you're a top team. If anyone took that away from me I would probably feel a bit empty.

"Sometimes I get the hump when we don't have midweek games!"
