Chelsea have declared that Frank Lampard is fit to fly to Italy ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 first-leg tie with Inter Milan.
The England midfielder was a doubt for the fixture, which sees Inter boss Jose Mourinho reunited with the Blues, after picking up a virus.
Lampard missed Chelsea's weekend win over Wolves at Molineux due to the illness, but has recovered sufficiently to travel to Milan.
Brazilian defenders Alex and Juliano Belletti will also be on the plane with Chelsea as they have shaken off back and knee problems.
Russian Yuri Zhirkov has a calf problem and does not travel with the squad, giving boss Carlo Ancelotti a problem at left-back as Paulo Ferreira is not registered for the competition.
Jose Bosingwa, Michael Essien, Deco (all knee) and Ashley Cole (ankle) also remain on the sidelines.
