Frank Lampard: Back in training

Chelsea have received a double fitness boost with midfield duo Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel back in training after injury lay-offs.

Talismanic midfielder Lampard has missed the Blues' last three matches with a calf injury, while Mikel has been on the sidelines for seven weeks with a hamstring problem.

Both men trained at Chelsea's Cobham base on Wednesday with Lampard pushing for a recall ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton.

The match may come too soon for Mikel, however, although his return to training comes as a boost with fellow midfielder Ramires currently ruled out with a knee injury.

Chelsea occupy fourth place in the Premier League but defeat at Goodison Park, combined with wins for Newcastle and Arsenal, could see Andre Villas-Boas' men fall to sixth.

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
