John Terry looks unlikely to be risked for Chelsea's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Birmingham, despite recovering from the knee injury that has sidelined him for three weeks.
Blues captain Terry only returned to full training on Thursday and manager Andre Villas-Boas cast doubt on whether he could play both on Saturday and in Tuesday's Champions League clash at Napoli.
Ashley Cole (calf) is rated 50-50 for the trip to Italy, Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou will only be available in midweek after returning from African Nations Cup duty, but Ramires could return from a knee injury against Birmingham.

I'll bet you 9863986239862396823948623948623946823948623948623948623 984623948623986239462398623946829235073098 US dollars I'm right.
must have a black bruise on his knee, what he should have is a black boot up his rear
aw aye your right. well thats fine. give bsingwa a break and play ferreira at right back.
I think Cahill is cup-tied so it will be Luiz and Ivanovic in the middle again. Even if it is only CL Brummies I reckon we will lose.
good, cahill shuld be givin a start, bertrand should also be givin a start and lukaku
when drogba returns he should be be playing straight away and kalou should be playing when sturridge gets a chance in the middle
ramires should be givin another week to recover. rest mata and play malouda.
we shuld be playing 1 or 2 reserve players in the cup games every game
