DOHA: Frank Lampard picked up a training injury here Thursday forcing him out of England's friendly against Brazil on Saturday.

The Chelsea midfielder misses the game in Doha after suffering a strain to his left thigh and was due to fly back to London later.

A spokesman for the English Football Association said head coach Fabio Capello would not be calling up any replacements.

Lampard joins a long list of players out of contention for Saturday's test with first-choice full-backs, Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney's United team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard and goalkeeper David James already ruled out by injury.
