No England wobbler from Chelsea midfielder Lampard

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard hasn't thrown a wobbler after being axed for England in victory against Bulgaria.

The Sun says the feeling was that, at the age of 33, the Chelsea midfield star might never start another game for his country.

But the word from inside the England camp over the weekend was that Lamps' attitude had been first-class and he is being considered as a possible starter against Wales at Wembley tomorrow night.

England insiders say that far from sulking, Lampard has been thoroughly professional.

And they point to the fact Gareth Barry was written off as an England first-choice at the turn of the year and he is back in the team and playing well.
