Chelsea’s game against Aston Villa has a special meaning for Lampard and for the Chelsea fans all over the World. The 34 years old midfielder became Chelsea’s top goalscorer after scoring both goals for The Blues.

With those two goals Lampard has now 203 goals for Chelsea. The previous record was owned by Bobby Tambling from 1970.

Lampard is also one of the most capped Chelsea player with 606 appearances in those 12 years spent at Stamford Bridge. The English international makes part of the selected group of players that have made over 600 appearances for a single club.

Chelsea won the game by 2 – 1 and have secured a place into the next season of Champions League.

Even if Lampard is now part of the club history his future at Chelsea is in doubt. His contract with the London club will expire at the end of the season and it’s not known if he will be offered a new deal. His presence into the starting lineup was more sporadic this year as Chelsea are rebuilding their squad.

Javier Zanetti suffered a bad injury on  Achilles tendon on last Sunday Serie A game against Palermo. It was a bad day for Inter fans who have lost the game 1-0 with Palermo and their captain.

The Achilles tendon injuries are from the worst injuries as the player is not allowed to make any effort for a period of six to nine months. This kind of injury would determine most of the players to retire and if we consider that Zanetti is 39 years old we might think that this is the end of his career.

But the Argentinean full-back insisted that he is not going to retire and that he will come back stronger. A few months ago Zanetti declared that he wants to extend his contract with Inter as he intends to play a few more years.

Zanetti has received a lot of messages of support from football fans all over the World. Zanetti made over 600 Serie A appearances for Inter since 1995 until now. One thing to notice is that Zanetti rarely got injured and he played most of the games since his arrival at Inter.

We all hope that he will get back soon and if there is somebody that can recover from this kind of injury at this age then that man is “El Tractor”.

Maarten Stekelenburg was close to leave Roma in January but everything failed after Roma decided to refuse the last minute offer.

Stekelenburg was not in the best terms with current Roma coach Zdenek Zeman and has lost his place in the team starting lineup. Fulham made a loan offer for the Netherlands goalkeeper and Roma accepted the offer initially but they failed to find a replacement and have changed their mind.

It looks like the clubs have kept the discussions open and Fulham made an offer of around €6 millions. Even if Zeman left Roma and Stekelenburg regained his place in the starting lineup he is decided to leave Roma. The main problem is the language barrier as he does not speak Italian and he is not feeling well in Serie A.

Roma have already started to look for a replacement and the Corinthians keeper Cassio Ramos is the favorite to replace him.

Fulham No.1 Mark Schwarzer will turn 41 in October and Fulham have made this transfer top priority for next season.
