Raheem Sterling has been left out of Chelsea's squad to face Manchester United due to a hamstring issue suffered against Manchester City. The Blues forward was able to continue with the issue against the Premier League champions but has not trained since.
Sterling was left out of Gareth Southgate's England squad this week, at least in part due to the 27-year-old not being happy with his physical condition as the season reaches its close. Chelsea boss Lampard believes that Sterling is still in contention for Chelsea's final game of the season against Newcastle United, however.
Lampard said: "Raheem had a small feeling in his hamstring at half-time against Manchester City. He carried on to be fair to him, so it wasn't a major issue but he hasn't trained since then so we felt it best to leave him out and we hope he can return for Sunday's game."
