Chelsea veteran Lampard set for immediate England recall

Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard is in line for an England recall.

The Daily Mail says Lampard will return for England in their friendly with Italy next week, after missing Euro 2012 with injury.

At 34, many will feel Lampard's best days are behind him, but England boss Roy Hodgson wants the midfielder as part of his 'revolution'.

Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry and Ashley Cole are among several senior places being rested for the match in Switzerland.
