After their friendly win over St Patrick’s Athletic, Lampard said: “Christian is flying in separately to join us as he has had a short break.
“But, fair play, he wanted to get there quickly which I appreciate. It is how I would have been.
“We have injuries and we will need him.
“I have not met him, I have spoken to him, but it is a good impression.”
