Lampard is pleased to be back with the Blues after the World Cup, although his preparations for the 14th August encounter with West Bromwich Albion are set to be punctuated by England’s friendly with Hungary.
The midfielder acknowledged the friendly is important as Fabio Capello’s side begin preparations for the 2012 European Championships.
But after claiming the Barclays Premier League title, his main target is helping Chelsea reclaim their crown.
mental effect
“I have got to be honest, the disappointing summer is not affecting the Chelsea side,” said Lampard.
“Of course, we are disappointed with England but it is almost a breath of fresh air to come back to Chelsea.
“We won the double last year and that is a nice feeling. There is no niggling mental effect from the World Cup at all.
“When the England games come then we will approach that but in terms of Chelsea, I think it is exciting to be back. England also need to prepare for the European Championship qualifying games.
“Right now I’m just excited to be back at Chelsea. But the Hungary match has always been there on the calendar so as a professional playing for your country you go and you play.”
