Lampard injury worry

Date published: 22 January 2015


FRANK Lampard sparked injury fears after playing just the first 20 minutes of Manchester City’s friendly victory over Hamburg in Abu Dhabi.

The former England midfielder showed no clear sign of injury but was withdrawn at an early stage of the 2–0 win.

City were having a run–out against the German side as part of their five–day warm–weather training camp in the emirate of their owner Sheikh Mansour.

After an uneventful first half, City won with well–taken goals from Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko after the break.

City fielded a mixture of first–team regulars, fringe players and Elite Development Squad members in their side.
