Chelsea will ignore Frank Lampard for his return with Manchester City on Saturday.
It will be the midfielder's first appearance at Stamford Bridge since his summer departure.
The Daily Express says there are no plans for any pre-match presentation.
While Chelsea made presentations to Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack when they made their returns recently, they have no plans to bestow any honours on Lampard.
The veteran is Chelsea's record goalscorer with 211 in 648 games.
