| Blues Trio:Cole rested,Lampard out and John Terry fit for CL clash |
Chelsea will be without Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole for their Champions League opener tomorrow night.The Blues take on MSK Zilina in their first group stage match but will do so without their star midfielder and left-back.
Lampard is not back from a hernia operation whilst Cole will be rested according to manager Carlo Ancelotti."Lampard will not be available and Ashley will also stay at home. He played two games with the national team and again on Saturday. There is no problem, but it is better for him to rest,” the Italian confirmed.
Meanwhile,Chelsea have been boosted by return of Chelsea captain,John Terry.He was fit enough to prepare with the first team today at Chelsea's Cobham training complex, having sustained bruised ribs in the 3-1 victory at Upton Park, and should start against Zilina, the Slovakian champions."John Terry trained today and he will travel," said the manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
"The players we have out and unavailable are [José] Bosingwa and Lampard. José still needs some time. Frank also needs some more time before he is ready to play but he should be OK for the game [against Blackpool] on Sunday.
