Carlo hopeful over pair

28 November 2010 17:30
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti hopes to have key duo John Terry and Frank Lampard back in action next week to kickstart the champions' faltering title hopes. Terry has missed the last three games with a nerve problem in his leg, while Lampard has been a long-term absentee with a groin injury. However, Ancelotti revealed after this afternoon's 1-1 draw at Newcastle that both are expected to resume training this week, and Terry in particular could be available for next weekend's clash with Everton. He said: "Next week for him [Terry] and Lampard will be an important week. They will start to train with the team. "We have a week to control their condition and I hope both, maybe more John Terry than Lampard, will be able to play against Everton. "They are very important players, not just technically, but because they have personality and character, and at the moment, we need to have that kind of player at our disposal."
