Lampard out of NYCFC match with calf strain

The former Premier League star was set to make his entry into MLS but will have to delay it after pick up an injury on the training ground.

Fans will have to wait to see Frank Lampard's NYCFC debut.

The Chelsea legend, who played the last season on loan with Manchester City after signing with the MLS expansion side in New York, strained a calf in training and won't be able to face Toronto FC on Sunday.

“I’m hugely disappointed to be missing out on Sunday’s game, which I have been really looking forward to," he told the club's official site.
