Lampard confirms Mount could still play against Liverpool after ankle injury

Frank Lampard has revealed that Mason Mount could still feature in Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool despite suffering an ankle injury in Tuesday's Champions League loss to Valencia.

The England midfielder was forced out of the 1-0 defeat to the Liga side after just 16 minutes as former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin clattered into the 20-year-old as he tried to win the ball.

Mount's ankle appeared to twist awkwardly following the impact and it had looked as though he could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
