Watch Lincoln City vs Crewe Alexandra Live StreamingIt is a bitter blow for Chelsea as they continue to battle for glory in the Barclays Premier League, Europe and the FA Cup.
But England midfielder Lampard, while admitting Cech's absence will be a "huge blow" for Carlo Ancelotti's side, is convinced deputy Hilario is the perfect replacement.
"It is a huge blow to lose Petr," admitted Lampard. "He has been in fantastic form as everyone knows and he has always been up there with the best in the world and no-one wants to lose that.
"But Hilario has never let us down at all. He has been brilliant every time he has come in, whether it is for one game or a run of them.
"That is something we are not worried about. You have to have faith in him, and Ross Turnbull behind him, and we certainly have that."
Cech's injury compounded a night when Chelsea lost their last-16 first-leg tie despite outplaying their hosts for much of the game.
