Good to see, and rules a few of our players out for any international duty, but should have them back at the Bridge for the Scum

[Chelsea FC Champions]

Anelka CHE 18/10/08 Leg injury. Sustained a knock against Villa on 5/10 and was subbed at half-time. Scolari is optimistic that he will be available for France’s second international next week

Alex CHE 18/10/08 Back injury. Missed the home game with Villa on 4/10.

Deco CHE 18/10/08 Thigh injury. Sustained a tear in the warm-up for the United game on 21/9. Confirmed on 29/9 that he faced another 10 days before being able to return to training. He remains a doubt for a return against Boro on 18/10 although there are reports suggesting that he could make an early return

Carvalho CHE 22/10/08 Knee injury. Sustained against United on 21/9. Confirmed on 29/9 that he faced another 10 days before being able to return to training. He remains a doubt for a return against Boro on 18/10

Mineiro CHE 18/10/08 Due to a general lack of match fitness he won’t be available to play “normal games†for 15 days according to Scolari on 24/10

Better news on Cech

Goal.com is reporting that Mancienne is in line for his first senior Chelsea start after injuries to JT and Alex. Link : Mancienne In Line For Chelsea Debut?

Also in another news, an The Sun claims that the Chelsea medical staff will not be entertaining any more injuries if a player gets injured as there is absoulutely no space left in the physio room. A Chelsea insider was quoted as saying, "Due to the constantly increasing injury list, the physio room is already been used at it's maximum capacity. and god forbid if another player manages to get injured before our next game, he will be sent to Fulham's or QPR's medical center, whichever meets the players needs. Link : Blues physio room overflowing with players. Those who can't get the link working, Blame Kenyon ;)

I heard Cech got a thigh strain during the week as well :S

And I think Cudicini is out... so:

3rd choice keeper

4th and 5th choice centre backs

2nd choice left back

3rd choice striker

Two of top three-choice central mid are out :/

WOOT

Was just about to post to find out latest situation , so nice one ethicalstrategy.

Big blow that Drogs wont be back for the Scum game , he usually does well against them.
