Frank Lampard believes the feelgood factor among the Chelsea players from their Champions League triumph can rub off on England’s bid for Euro 2012 glory.

Lampard and fellow Blues John Terry, Ashley Cole and Gary Cahill – plus stand-by player Daniel Sturridge – have been given extra time off by Roy Hodgson after the dramatic win over Bayern Munich.

Lampard said: “It’s nice for the Chelsea boys because we’ll go with confidence with England when we join up next week.

“England have got a strong squad and we’ll go and join up with a spring in our step.

“If we can bring some of the play, the spirit, the determination – whatever it is that’s won us the Champions League – into the England team then hopefully that can help this summer.”

Cahill echoed Lampard’s sentiments and said: “I think it sets us up with confidence because we’ll be on a high.

“With three of the Chelsea boys being defenders, knowing each other’s game and personality, it hopefully bodes well for us and we’d like to all play a huge part.

“The lads have been to tournaments before. I haven’t, so I’m looking very much forward to going, and hopefully we can play a huge part with England.”
