In the news - Lampard needs major surgery after dive

The soccer world was shocked today after learning that Chelsea hero Frank Lampard will need to miss England's tour to America because of major surgery to the foot that he nearly lost in what was a disgusting attack on the midfield genius by Charlton's Jonathan Fortune on Saturday.

Fortune was lucky not to be sent off and banned for life for the lunge at the honest Lampard 10 feet outside of the penalty area which was so bad that it ended up with Lampard being sent flying into the air landing (conveniently) inside the penalty box.

In fact the foul was so intentional and planned that it appeared that Fortune cleverly never even touched the superb Lampard.

Re-constructive surgery begins after the season but experts say the brilliant Lampard will make a full recovery.

Meanwhile Alan Curbishley will take a close look at the video and try to implement Lampard's wonderful footwork into the Addicks training sessions as they look to 'earn' their first penalty of the season!
