Chelsea’s Frank Lampard says he feels like an outcast

Chelsea mid-fielder Frank Lampard has admitted that he feels like an outcast after spending three-and-a-half-months off the playing field with a groin tendon tear.

The Sun quoted him as saying: "I'm used to being part of the team, travelling away. You feel like an outcast traipsing around on your own doing afternoon training and trying to get fit. In the end I understood no matter how much I pushed I wouldn't get back any quicker. Then I dealt with it much better."
