AVB - Lampard not available

Andre Villas-Boas has again rubbished suggestions that Chelsea could be willing to sell Frank Lampard.

Villas-Boas has become the first Chelsea boss to drop Lampardin recent weeks, which has led to speculation about his long-term future.

Lampard has refused to bite his tongue over his unhappiness at being in and out of the side, while there have been increasing numbers of reports claiming all is not well between the midfielder and his manager.

But Villas-Boas has rubbished any suggestions there is an issue and insisted they are not looking to sell the England international.

"We speak every day," he said.

"Frank is a player who is not available at any price," Villas-Boas added, before justifying his handling of the 33-year-old.
