Chelsea play down Lampard fears

Chelsea have denied reports that England midfield man Frank Lampard has broken his toe - and insist he will be fit for the new season.

Lampard sustained a minor knock during their tour of America and could yet play in Sunday's Community Shield clash with Manchester United at Wembley.

Chelsea insist Lampard has not even missed any training sessions because of the problem.

A spokesman added: "The injury has not required any painkilling injections."
