Ancelotti has fewer options

Sat, 22 Aug 11:24:58 2009

Chelsea will be without several first-team players for their Barclays Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

New signing Yuri Zhirkov is sidelined with a knee injury while Juliano Belletti (Achilles) and defender Alex (groin) are also set to miss out for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Joe Cole (knee) and Paulo Ferreira (knee) return to training with the first team next Tuesday.

  2. what chelsea need is to avoid all the early goals they­ often concede.though they have great comback,but it­ might not be easy againt teams like man u­ ,arsenal,tottenham.livepool etc who are cureently­ scoring more goals

  3. Those injuries mean nothing to chelsea.Any player­ picked in the team will do a great job. What matters is­ the ability of the player vs the system employed by the­ manager. Systems should be evolved around players not­ players being forced in a system where their individual­ abilities are "wanting". Most of chelsea­ players fit in any system that is why they keep on­ changing their game. that is a trademark of a champoin.
