Lampard ruled out for a month

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and defender Branislav Ivanovic will be out of action until the end of January, the Chelsea website reported on Wednesday. Following a 3-0 Premier League win at Southampton that left his side two points behind leader Arsenal, manager Jose Mourinho said the injuries the players sustained in Saturday's 2-1 home win over Liverpool would rule them out for about a month.
