There is news that Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has broken a toe on his left foot.
It is believed that Lampard picked up the problem during Chelsea's first training session in America three weeks ago.
The extent of the injury was not then revealed until he was sent for an x-ray on Thursday afternoon.
With a number of other Chelsea players also sidelined, news of Lampard's broken toe will come as an especially major blow to Jose Mourinho.
Although Chelsea have yet to confirm how long Lampard will be out for, he is set to miss the Community Shield against Manchester United on Sunday.
He is also expected to miss the start of Chelsea's Premier League campaign the following weekend.
Lampard has been a virtual ever-present in the Blues side in recent years and speculation of a move away from Stamford Bridge recently died down after he was offered a big pay rise.
