The best left back in the world Ashley Cole will be on the bench for his side's Premier League game with the scum on Saturday.

Cole, 29, broke his ankle in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat by Everton on 10 February.

His return will be a welcome boost for England manager Fabio Capello, who announces his initial 35-man World Cup squad on 12 May.

Cole could now play league games against Stoke, Liverpool and Wigan and the FA Cup final against Portsmouth as he bids to prove his England fitness.

"He has trained well all week, is totally recovered and is 100% fit," said Chelsea manager Carlo "the eyebrow" Ancelotti.

Cole is Capello's first choice at left-back and the Italian will face a selection dilemma if Cole fails to prove his fitness because Manchester City's Wayne Bridge made himself unavailable for his country in the wake of being complete and utter sh*te for the last four or five seasons. It's not really a selection dilemma anyway because Leighton Baines is twice the player that whiny twat Bridge is.

Chelsea are four points ahead of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table with four games to go and play Portsmouth in the FA Cup final at Wembley next month.

you beat me to it! i was just about to post this newsflash from the official site

Carlo Ancelotti has announced that Ashley Cole is in the squad for the match at Tottenham tomorrow (Saturday).

The left-back has been out since February with a broken ankle. He will begin the game on the bench.

'He has trained well all week, is totally recovered and is 100 per cent fit,' says Ancelotti.

Michael Essien is not yet ready to return. Joe Cole, Deco and Florent Malouda will all start the game.

Great news,hopefully we wont need him to come off the bench but its good to see he has recovered well ;)

In other news, there is no news on Ivanovic, not a peep!

Good to see Ashley back, get him on fo shizzle

ivanovic will start according to carlo...as for ash, it's good news, but in last few weeks he's not been missed that badly cos yury has been top draw

Good news, but there's no reason to rush him back. Yuri has been good recently and Ashley can take his time and make his return when he's ready.

whats the difference between the volcano in iceland and cheryl cole?

the volcano is still blowing ash!

Good one that, what else do you do?

Anyone with suggestions or more joke requests, please forward them to [email protected]

Good news, although Yuri has done a fantastic job and deserves praise

I'd like to see Ivanovic on the right side of defence, but I don't know what about left side. Zhrikov or Ashley? Zhirkov played very well againsit Bolton.
