Frank Lampard hopes for England involvement

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has revealed that he hopes to be involved with England next season.

The 34-year-old, who recently signed a one-year contract extension at Stamford Bridge, has won 97 caps for his country since making his senior debut in 1999.

"It is a big year," Lampard told the club's official website. "I would love to stay involved with England until the World Cup. I need to be playing regularly and well to do that, and we have a big squad.

"Now I've signed the extra year though it's up to me to come back in pre-season and onwards and show I can do that. Then we'll see what happens with England but if I am playing well I like to think I will have a chance."

Lampard has scored 29 goals during his 14-year international career.
