Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard suffered an injury scare during their friendly win over Hamburg in Dubai.
The Daily Mail says Lampard is expected to be fit for a return to Chelsea with City despite injuring his hip in a warm weather friendly against Hamburg in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old was taken off after 20 minutes of the 2-0 win against the Bundesliga club Hamburg but manager Manuel Pellegrini later revealed the problem wasn't serious.
"He was injured in the warm up and then we took him off in the game as a precaution," said Pellegrini.
