Andriy Schevchenko's Chelseacareer seems finally over - after the Ukrainian was told he will bedumped from the Blues’ Champions League squad. NewChelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti appeared to give the £30million flop achance of redemption on Friday when he declared the Ukrainian still hada “future“ at Stamford Bridge. ButShevchenko blew his top when Ancelotti - with whom he fell out duringhis nightmare loan return to AC MIlan last term - told him he wasconsidered as the fourth choice striker behind Didier Drogba, NicolasAnelka and Salomon Kalou. Ancelottiexplained to Shevchenko that he would get his chance in January, whenDrogba and Kalou, along with Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel, will beon African Nations’ Cup duty. That was not enough for theUkrainian, who responded that, while his priority interest was stayingin London for family reasons, he would rather leave now than spendmonths warming the Cheslea bench. Ancelotti’sterse response was to put the Ukrainian firmly in his place, pointingout that it was up to the club, not the player, whether he was sold butShevchenko, who was left out of the squad for Sunday’s win at Fulham,was also told he would not be included in the 25-man Champions Leaguesquad. Shevchenko, who wasout of sorts during the club’s open training session at Stamford Bridgeon Tuesday, is now resigned to leaving, hoping for a possible return tofirst club Dynamo Kiev or to make a move to Russian outfit Zenit StPetersburg by Tuesday’s 5pm deadline. TheUkrainian knows any chance of a move back to Italy is over, with theSerie A sides now viewing the striker, who turns 33 on Saturday, as abusted flush. Chelsea willbe willing to let him go for free but have no interest in making up anyshortfall in his £120,000 per week wages, forcing the player who standsas the symbol of Roman Abramovich’s excessive expenditure to take a cutif he really wants out. www.mirrorfootball.co.uk
