Deco's ready to take on Lampard's role
CHELSEA playmaker Deco is convinced The Blues can make light of Frank Lampard's absence and qualify for the next phase of the Champions League by beating CFR Cluj at Stamford Bridge tonight, knowing that only a victory will ensure them of a place in the knockout stage of the competition.
"It will be difficult to play without Frank," said Deco. "He is one of the leaders of this team.
"We have to win the game. It has been difficult for us with so many injuries. But we know our responsibilities. It will be a difficult game."
