Blue Armour 4,466 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just hope it isn't serious because Lampard isn't one to get small short-term injuries.If I remember right, he has picked up a similar injury once before for England. The reason for that one apparently, was a long flight in a cramped position, followed by training immediately afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just hope it isn't serious because Lampard isn't one to get small short-term injuries.Any idea when we will find out the extent of his injury?It looks like he is gonna retire from the international game , i hope his injury isnt too serious.Not too serious I would think judging by what Hodgson said about it.http://sports.ndtv.com/euro-2012/news/item/191040-injured-frank-lampard-to-miss-euro-2012?pfrom=home-sports"The fact that the doctor cannot guarantee Frank could take part in any of the group matches means we have to replace him in the central midfield area."Could be just out for 2-3 weeks or so.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ouch. Must be hurting, physically and emotionally as this was probably his last chance to represent England in a major tournament.If I remember right, he has picked up a similar injury once before for England. The reason for that one apparently, was a long flight in a cramped position, followed by training immediately afterwards.Don't they get to fly first class?

Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Lampard has never been good in an England shirt. Hope this injury rules him out for a long period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The prospect of Gerrard, Henderson and 'Scotty' in central midfield is quite enticing. For a bundle of laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not Super Frank. It's a shame he couldn't get 100 caps, but oh well neither could Ballack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Will they all boo God Save The Queen?Yeah, because YNWA is 'a way of life' He won't retire, I don't think. He'll play a part in qualifying for the Brazil World Cup and he may even use that as his swansong should England qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 How can anyone say this is good, he's done it all for us and wants to win something with England so much. This is is last chance and it's been taken away from him. I was looking forward to it a lot more than i am now, that's why i'm cancelling my holiday, this England squad is a disgrace to the level of our league and part of me actually wants to see us get smashed. Obviously we have our Chelsea defence so i hope that performs well but midfield.... we'll be torn apart. Gutted that Frank is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Lampard has never been good in an England shirt. Hope this injury rules him out for a long period of time.He has 23 goals in 90 appearances, that is very good for a midfielder. Don't let the media propaganda fool you. Just because he has never been given credit, does not mean he has never been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFHobson 14 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 He has 24 goals in 90 appearances, that is very good for a midfielder. Don't let the media propaganda fool you.

Spike 12,049 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I would have really liked Frank Lampard to lift the European Championship as Captain. With Steevee Gee being named Captain and this injury occuring I guess it will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelsPrad2000 10 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 If England fails at the Euros, they will blame the backline of Terry, Cole and Cahill. But not the wanker, ’St. Stevie G’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,539 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 They'll probably blame JT'S presence as well...'the tension' its causing and that bollocks.Just so ahhhh to think how close Lamps came to having a shot at giving us a lifeline in the World Cup and just his luck had a complete tit of a ref!Who the bloody hell is Henderson?! Us in Euros is just gana be a disaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Blues 11 19 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Feel bad for Frank, but it will be good for Chelsea for him to get the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I dont know how good such injuries at that age are...he might get some rest and get ready for (pre)season, but because of this injury, he might not get back in form again...Ballack is great example, he was realy good before that injury, captain of germany that would go to world cup, instead he stayed home, never got picked by national team again and his level and physical status was much lower...It could easily happen to Lamps aswell. Hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
