Chelsea will reportedly seek up to a million pounds in compensation from the FA amid claims they believe Frank Lampard's thigh injury was the result of the England team travelling to Doha in economy style.
Lampard pulled up lame in the opening minutes of England's first training session after arriving in the Middle East and is unlikely to play again this year.
According to The Lying Rag, the injury was the consequence of Lampard being 'forced to spend the long-haul flight to Doha on a charter plane designed for short-haul only.
'The superstar players are used to having flat beds for long journeys and were shocked to find seats that barely reclined. Several players complained of cramp and muscle pain after the flight.'
It is not known what type of aeroplane Lampard flew back on to England last night ahead of scans on his injured thigh at Chelsea's training ground.
I had to check it wasn't April 1st!
