Chelsea have been lifted by Frank Lampard's return for their clash against Everton.

The England midfielder returned to training yesterday after almost three weeks out since he suffered a calf injury in the goalless stalemate at Norwich.

Lampard's comeback and Ashley Cole's availability after suspension will be a huge relief for Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas.

He saw his side surrender a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 against Manchester United on Sunday without senior stars Lampard, Cole, skipper John Terry and Didier Drogba.
