Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has emerged as an option for manager Rafael Benitez for the Blues' Champions League match against Nordsjaelland tomorrow.

The England international has been absent for a number of weeks with a calf problem but did take part in a training session ahead of the vital European encounter today.

While captain John Terry is believed to have been nearing full fitness, the former England skipper was not in attendance for the session at Cobham.

Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge was also missing from the squad.
