Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says Frank Lampard will be available for selection when the Blues face West Ham.
Lampard had surgery to solve a hernia problem just two weeks ago but Ancelotti expects the midfielder to be fit to face the Hammers.
"For sure, Frank will be fit for the West Ham game," the Italian boss told the Daily Star on Sunday.
Ancelotti also dismissed reports Chelsea postponed Lampard's operation to ensure he did not miss any games for his club.
The former AC Milan boss insisted it only became clear the England international needed to go under the knife after the 2-0 victory over Stoke.
