Chelsea´s England midfielder Frank Lampard is ready to be rested if they wrap up the title and clinch a place in the Champions League final.The Blues will land their first title for 50 years with a point at Bolton on Saturday and victory or a scoring draw against Liverpool at Anfield next Tuesday night will earn them a clash against AC Milan or PSV Eindhoven in Istanbul. If both aims are achieved then coach Jose Mourinho will almost certainly rest some of his major stars before the European final on May 25.Lampard has made 142 consecutive league appearances and does not want to break his run, unless the manager orders it. He said: "That´s something we will talk about when it happens. The manager is aware of my record but I´d rather have the record of winning the league and the Champions League - and if he feels it is best to rest then I´ll go along with whatever he says."
