Chelsea ace Frank Lampard has laughed off John Terry's metatarsal scare.

The England midfielder poured cold water on suggestions Terry might miss the World Cup.

Terry was thought to have sustained serious damage to his right foot when striker Daniel Sturridge fell on him in training earlier this week.

Lampard, though, made light of the situation, saying it was not as serious as first thought.

"That's the way of the world now, a player could break a fingernail and everyone would panic. Especially a player as good as John Terry," he said.

"It was a brief scare but it's all behind us now."
