England midfielder Frank Lampard not underestimating Ukraine

Lampard wary of Ukraine

England international midfielder Frank Lampard has admitted that winning against Ukraine in London on Tuesday will not be easy.

The Three Lions will entertain the Euro 2012 co-hosts at Wembley in their second game of the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

"Ukraine are a quality team, they showed that in glimpses in the game during the European Championships," said Lampard. "It was a pretty impressive performance and a tough match for the team even though we got the win.

"They are certainly going to come to Wembley with intentions to make it difficult for us and show what they are about, so we will have to be on top form.

"We need to rest up, prepare right and try and keep the level of performance we are producing."

England won their first Group H game on Friday, defeating Moldova 5-0 away.
