EPL: Ballack returns to Chelsea -

Michael Ballack has become the latest of Frank Lampard’s former Chelsea team-mate to be called on for advice by the Blues’ boss.

Ballack oversaw training and had a meeting with Lampard and his technical adviser, Petr Cech.

Cech and the two midfielders shared the Stamford Bridge dressing room for four years, winning the 2009/2010 Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final together.

Lampard is preparing his side for a league fixure at Southampton on Sunday.

They currently sit in ninth place.
