Frank Lampard pulls out of England squad

Chelsea's Frank Lampard has become the third midfielder to withdraw from the England squad for Wednesday's friendly against the Netherlands.



The 33-year-old did not train with the team this morning after complaining of a throat infection.



When the condition of Lampard did not improve in the afternoon, he was sent back to Chelsea for further treatment.



Jack Wilshere and Michael Carrick had already withdrawn, prompting Manchester United's Tom Cleverley to be called up.



Lampard's absence increases Cleverley's chances of getting a debut England cap.
