Lampard and Terry set for Chelsea return

High-flying Chelsea are set to get back star midfielder Frank Lampard and key defender John Terry for next weekend's league clash with Manchester City.

The England pair have missed the past few outings for the Blues but are both expected back as the West London club prepare to take on the big-spending City at Eastlands after their midweek Carling Cup clash with Newcastle United.

"Frank is training, he is not 100% yet," said Ancelotti. "He will be able to play against Manchester City. Terry had a problem with his ribs and was not able to play, but he should be okay in two or three days.

"We will change a lot of players for the Carling Cup because we want to use this competition for our younger players."
