Frank Lampard will miss out on Sundayâs game with Toronto FC at Yankee Stadium after picking up a calf strain in training.
Speaking from the Clubâs training center, Frank commented to NYCFC.com:
âIâm hugely disappointed to be missing out on Sundayâs game, which I have been really looking forward to. Iâve been feeling great in training and have loved working with the squad. Unfortunately I sustained a small strain to my calf during a session.â
âWhilst Iâve been taking it day by day since then and have been involved in light training, Iâve just been advised by the medical team that it needs a few daysâ rest for it to heal fully.â
âAs I say, itâs personally very disappointing for me but these things happen in football. The good news is that I should be back in full training next week. While I was desperate to play a role on Sunday, I have to take the advice of our medical team to let it heal and not risk further injury so I can get back on the pitch and play a full role as soon as possible.â
