Lampard on Abraham injury: He had ice on his ankle, but we don’t know yet

Published on: 22 January 2020

Frank Lampard said he was unsure on the severity of the injury sustained by Tammy Abraham during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Abraham suffered an ankle injury scare after sliding into an advertising hoarding late in the match under a challenge from Rob Holding.

The 22-year-old needed to be helped from the field after full-time and asked about the severity of the injury, Lampard replied: "He has had ice on his ankle, but I haven't spoken to him yet, so I don't know."

It is another potential injury blow to England manager Gareth Southgate with forwards Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford already facing long spells on the sidelines ahead of Euro 2020.

Lampard though insists Chelsea have the firepower to cope without Abraham, who has 13 Premier League goals this term, if his ankle problem keeps him sidelined for several weeks.

"Yes, yes; and we have the players there to do that," Lampard said.

"I hope he's not (out for several weeks), but if he is then yes, we do have the players."
