Frank Lampard has been handed a triple injury boost ahead of Chelsea's crucial Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Real Madrid on Wednesday night. The Blues qualified for the last-eight after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on aggregate in the round of 16.
Lampard will need his best players to be fit and available if he is going to stand a chance of helping Chelsea progress into the Champions League semi-finals. N'Golo Kante is likely to be available for selection on Wednesday night after being left out of the squad that lost to Wolves.
Lampard confirmed that the club were just managing the Frenchman's minutes after he was sidelined with a hamstring injury since August last year - only recently returning to action. There was a big boost for the Blues' defensive options as Thiago Silva returned to first team training on Monday afternoon.
