Some of the lads in my office were saying that Lampard could be out for a while. Found this on google:
Lampard out of Arsenal showdown
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
LONDON — Chelsea will have to do without Frank Lampard for their Premier League summit meeting with Arsenal on November 29 after the England midfielder was ruled out of action for three weeks.
Lampard suffered a thigh injury while training with the England squad in Qatar on Thursday and flew back to London amid fears he could be sidelined for up to two months.
But after he was assessed by Chelsea's medical staff on Friday morning, a club spokesman predicted that the muscle tear he suffered will need only three weeks to heal.
Chelsea will claim Lampard's 151,000-pounds-a-week wages in compensation from the Football Association (FA) while he is sidelined.
The FA has dismissed reports that Lampard's injury was caused by allegedly cramped conditions on the charter plane England used to fly to Doha for Saturday's friendly with Brazil.
The same plane has been used by the squad for much longer trips, notably to Trinidad and to Kazakhstan.
