Chelsea midfielder Lampard: I'm ready for kickoff

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says he's ready for their Premier League kickoff against Hull City.

Lampard made his return in last Wednesday's 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in Miami before scoring a trademark long-range effort in the 2-1 win over Roma in Washington during the early hours of Sunday morning. In total, the 35-year-old has played just 90 minutes of football over the summer.

However, he insists he is fit to face Hull on Sunday, saying: "There is no pain with the injury any more, I am feeling good.

"I like to think I am a pretty fit bloke and will be ready for Hull."
