That could prove a problem if Lampard gets injured as Butt is still a very good holding midfielder (which, TBH, we probably could have done with on Sunday).

Who does that leave us with? If we take our first choice four as Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes (if he's fit), am I right in saying that only leaves Joe Cole and Owen Hargreaves? If that's the case, then I can't see why UEFA won't let us call somebody else up - Butt's injury was sustained while training at the tournament, so I can't see the problem.

On the other hand, maybe they won't let us call Scott Parker up 'cos he's been cr@p since he moved to Chelsea - how's about trying for Gareth Barry? At least he's a proven left sided player.
