Frank Lampard is the latest injury worry for Fabio Capello as the Italian prepares to pick his second England team this week.

Capello's squad to face France in Paris had already been hit by its fair share of withdrawals with Chris Kirkland and Scott Carson being forced out through injury.

Chelsea midfielder Lampard revealed after Sunday's win over Arsenal that his fitness was a concern after suffering a hip injury.

Lampard is set to report for international duty where his fitness will be assessed by the England medical staff.

"I took a knock on my hip during the first half, and it was pretty painful," he said.

"I am still going to report for England duty and see how it is."
