Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard is mourning the loss of his mother, Pat, casting doubt over his participation in the end-of-season run-in.
"Everybody at Chelsea Football Club is absolutely devastated to hear the tragic news of the passing away of Pat Lampard, Frank's mother," the club said on their website.
"Our sincerest and deepest condolences go out to Frank, his father Frank Snr, sisters Natalie and Claire and to their immediate family and friends.
"Pat was a very familiar face to many people at Chelsea FC. Her unswerving support for her son's career was evident at virtually every game that Frank participated in regardless of where it was being played, she would always be there to watch him with Frank's dad. Pat will be deeply missed by everyone at Chelsea.
"The club will be offering all the support it can to Frank and his family at this time."
It is not known whether Lampard will feature in the Premier League title clash at home to Manchester United this coming weekend.
Lampard had been absent from training while tending to his sick mother and missed the 1-0 win over Everton last week, although he played in the 1-1 Champions League draw at Liverpool in midweek.
Pat Lampard, 58, was admitted to hospital with pneumonia last week.
It was understood that her condition had improved, allowing her son to play at Anfield, but his absence from training on the day of her death led to fears that her condition had deteriorated.
Don't like Lampard as a player or person, but do feel sorry for him. Hope he get's through it eventually.
