Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Frank Lampard and John Terry could return in time to play a part in the London derby against West Ham United on Saturday.
The defender is currently out with a shamstring injury while the midfielder had to go under the knife to correct a hernia problem, as the pair were both unavailable to be called up to play for England in the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland.
Now the Italian boss has conceded that Terry is likely to make a return at Upton Park, while Lampard is expected to undergo a late fitness test to see if he can play any part in the game against his former club.
"Lampard had surgery on Tuesday and I think that he will start to train this week," Ancelotti told reporters.
"I don't know when but we will see how he trains and we will take a decision for the game against West Ham.
"Terry didn't have surgery but he used the last week to improve his hamstring.
"He will start to train with the squad this week, maybe Tuesday, and I think he will be able to play against West Ham."
