Lampard faces fitness battle to make Barcelona clash

FRANK LAMPARD is facing a major battle to be fit for Chelsea’s European showdown in Barcelona.

Lampard had a scan yesterday on the injured hamstring which forced him to withdraw from the England squad ahead of the friendly against Uruguay.

The results show he is a serious doubt for Saturday’s Premiership trip to West Brom, but Lampard and his manager, Jose Mourinho, will not abandon hope of making the Champions League clash in the Nou Camp on Tuesday.
