Lampard Dinged: Blessing in Disguise?

Frank Lampard’s form in this Cup has been pretty appalling, and I say that as a Chelsea supporter.
21 shots (most in the tournament), 9 on goal (second most), no real scares for any opposing keeper, and, of course, no balls in the net.
Now he appears to have suffered an ankle injury within 48 hours of the opening whistle against Portugal. It doesn’t appear to be very serious. But it may affect his fitness on Saturday.
I’m wondering if this doesn’t give Sven a little wiggle room: Lamps on the bench at the start, Aaran Lennon in the first 11, then Lamps on in the 60th minute or so for whomever seems to be draggy, even the holding mid (Carrick/Hargreaves/Carragher/whomever).
This may be the classic case of addition by subtraction.
