Lampard: Sheva is still a great player

Andriy Shevchenko might have had problems playing in England but will be Ukraine’s main threat in Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier, former Chelsea team mate Frank Lampard said.

“He will be a huge threat to us on Wednesday because he is a top player who can produce something out of the blue — score a goal or make a goal, so I don’t know why it didn’t quite work out at Chelsea”.

“I think he had quite a few injury problems and slight problems settling in England,” Lampard continued. “He was in and out of the team at certain times, so it didn’t work for him for a lot of reasons, and I think only he can explain that.”
