Fuming Chelsea to hit FA with £900,000 Lampard compo claim
Chelsea are ready to hit the FA with a £900,000 compo claim over Frank Lampard's injury.
The Sun says Lampard could be out for six weeks with a thigh injury after seven hours cramped on a plane on the way to Qatar for tomorrow's Brazil friendly.
Chelsea are furious and will claim his £151,000-a-week wages in compensation from the FA.
Lamps and his Three Lions team-mates were forced to spend the long-haul flight to Doha on a charter plane designed for short-haul only.
The superstar players are used to having flat beds for long journeys and were shocked to find seats that barely reclined.
Several players complained of cramp and muscle pain after the flight.
The squad had their first training session yesterday morning. After an initial warm up, Lamps, 31, burst into a sprint and strained his left thigh.
Last season, the midfielder missed six weeks with a similar injury.
He could now be ruled out of crucial league games against Arsenal, Manchester City, Wolves and Everton plus Champions League clashes with Porto and Apoel Nicosia.

Old age buddy.
Thanks for the laugh of the day, Tribal.
So this Chel$ki dwarf was callously and deliberately injured in some pro-ManU FA plot to stop them winning the EPL this year.
Well Mr Spoilt Brat Lampard, try being anyone over 6 foot flying Ryanair like the rest of us have to, with no recliners. Do you think this is an Irish government plot to sabbotage the UK economy by crippling all our tall workers? And would our employers expect compensation if we were injured as soon as we got back to work?
What next? A personal cotton wool lined crib and his own personal hostess to wipe his a*se?
this was done on purpose by the fa to please their team united, without Lmapard as well Chelsea will struggle
