Frank Lampard will win his 100th cap for England in World Cup qualifier in Ukraine
Manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Frank Lampard will win his 100th cap on Tuesday night when England face Ukraine in a crucial World Cup Group H qualifier in Kiev. And captain Steven Gerrard says it is now up to the team to make sure the night is a special occasion for his fellow midfielder.
The 35-year-old Lampard has enjoyed a superb career, winning trophies galore at club level with Chelsea, and will now become just the eighth person to win 100 England caps,
having made his debut back in 1999.
"All things being equal, Frank will play and start the game tomorrow and win his 100th cap," Hodgson said at a Tuesday press conference.
"I'm happy to be part of that. I don't think there will be many players who will play for England for two or three years, let alone 14 years.
"Fourteen years is a long time to be representing your country. We don't have that many international matches, so I think people who want to play 100 games
for their country have to play for a team that wins major international tournaments and play for a very long time."
