Lampard Down With Injury!

Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard could miss showdown with former club Chelsea after suffering hip injury in friendly.

Frank Lampard is facing an anxious wait on a suspected hip injury after lasting just 20 minutes of Manchester City's mid-season friendly against Hamburg in Abu Dhabi.

City manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed after the game, which City won 2-0, that the former Chelseamidfielder was 'injured during the warm-up' but started the fixture before being withdrawn as a precaution.

The full extent of Lampard's injury may become clearer on Thursday, but the 36-year-old is now likely to miss Saturday' s FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Middlesbrough and Lampard could also be facing a race against time to face his former club at Stamford Bridge in a crucial league fixture on Jan 31.

With Yaya Toure away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, any lay-off for Lampard would prove a blow to City's hopes of catching Chelsea in the title race.
