Frank Lampard has rubbished claims he was insulted by Chelsea captain John Terry during yesterday's media rant.

The Chelsea midfielder dismissed the suggestion that, by picking out Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole as players who could "unlock defences", club team-mate Terry had offended him.

"I don't think players are that sensitive," he said.

"I wasn't knocking John's door down saying 'Do you think I can't unlock a defence'."

Following Terry's press conference yesterday, the meeting between players and coaching staff was billed as a chance to clear the air with the former captain promising a frank exchange of views.

But Lampard said: "The meeting was just the manager dealing with the Algeria match and we moved on."
