Lampard on FIFA short-list

CHELSEA’S Frank Lampard is one of three names on the shortlist for FIFA’s world player of the year award.

The Chelsea midfielder is up against Barcelona’s Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto’o following the voting for the prestigious accolade.

Ronaldinho pipped Lampard for the Ballon d’Or award this week so the England international will be hoping to go one better at the glitzy gala in Zurich on December 19.
