Abraham injury not as severe as first feared, Lampard reveals

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has revealed that Tammy Abraham's injury doesn't appear to be as bad as the club initially feared.

The striker had to be removed from Wednesday's Champions League match against Valencia on a stretcher after a clash with Ezequiel Garay just before half-time.

Abraham and Garay went up for a challenge and as the pair fell to the ground, Abraham landed on Garay's legs and appeared to injure his hip in the process.
