Breaking News..Didier Drogba & Frank Lampard will miss our trip to Villa. The Official Website has Carlo quoted from his Press Conference as saying:
Didier Drogba will miss the weekend's game against Aston Villa due to a fever, joining Frank Lampard on the sidelines.
John Terry is available after missing England's game in midweek, but four others also miss out.
'Frank Lampard is not available, Drogba is not available, Sturridge is not available, Kalou is not available, Alex is not available, Benayoun is not available, Terry is available,' reported manager Carlo Ancelotti, who also named his line-up for the game at Villa Park.
'The line-up will be Cech, Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry and Cole, Ramires, Essien and Mikel, strikers Kakuta, Malouda and Anelka.'
There will also be a place on the bench for Jose Bosingwa, who has missed a year with a knee injury, a small consolation for a squad bereft of last season's two top scorers.
'[Lampard] is getting better but he needs to have some weeks again, maybe two weeks to be fit 100 percent, he had a problem on his adductor and we have to pay attention. He is working individually and needs two weeks again,' Ancelotti explained.
'Drogba had a fever this week and was not able to train, he started today but is not fit. He took antibiotics in the last days and needs to train next week and I'll know if he is available for the game in the Champions League.
'Alex may be available next week and also Kalou will surely be available for the Champions League, and Sturridge needs days of recovery.'
So we have Alex, Drogba and Lampard out but the plus is JT is back. What do you think of the Chelsea team that will take to the pitch tomorrow. Can we pull off a result?
