That means Lampard has been left with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Salomon Rondon as his recognised centre-forwards.
Manager Lampard said: “We are assessing Dom’s injury. No timeframe has been confirmed and we are pretty sure what level it is so we are hopeful it is not long-term.“We’ll miss him for Chelsea. He was looking in great physical condition and was training really well.
