Cole to undergo surgery Ancelotti backs defender to recover in time for World Cup England and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole is to undergo surgery on his broken ankle later on Friday. The left-back is facing a race against time to be fit for the World Cup this summer after being ruled out of action for the next three months, but Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti believes he will recover in time. Cole sustained the injury to his left ankle during Wednesday night's 2-1 Premier League defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. The former Arsenal ace was hurt in a fair challenge with Landon Donovan, with the USA skipper expected to line up against England in their World Cup opener on 12th June. Cole's injury has led to inevitable speculation as to who will replace him in Fabio Capello's plans for the showpiece tournament in South Africa. Bridge Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge is the recognised deputy, but he has been inadvertently thrust into the media spotlight in recent weeks. A series of newspaper allegations over axed captain John Terry's reported relationship with Bridge's ex-girlfriend led to speculation that the full-back could be ready to leave the international scene. That suggestion was rejected by Eastlands manager Roberto Mancini, who firmly believes Bridge will answer his country's call if he is selected for the forthcoming friendly with Egypt on 3rd March. Other candidates to fill the void for the national side include Everton's Leighton Baines, City pair Joleon Lescott and Gareth Barry, and Aston Villa duo James Milner and Stephen Warnock. Ancelotti has bemoaned the loss of Cole as the Blues target glory in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup, but feels he will be fit in time for the World Cup. Realistic He said: "I'm disappointed because Ashley is a very important player for us, but it can happen that a player gets an injury. "I hope he recovers quickly and comes back before the end of the season. That's a realistic possibility. He will have surgery today and we hope to recuperate him quickly. "In three months he will be ready to play, so for England he can play in the World Cup." Ancelotti has confirmed he will use Yuri Zhirkov in Cole's absence, starting with Saturday's home FA Cup fifth-round meeting with Cardiff. He added: "It's bad news, but we have the opportunity to play Yuri Zhirkov, another fantastic left-back, and I have confidence that he will do a very good job. "He's played very well in the last few games, and has played very well at left-back as well as in midfield. I've said I have a lot of confidence in him. "He's a very good player. We wanted to buy him in the summer also for this - he could be an alternative to Ashley. Now his moment has come and I think he will be fit to do his best." Sky

lol thats diff, pretty boring.

EPIC HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Has to be Yuri, hes been impressive since he has signed for us. He might not be scoring but he rarely gives the ball away and is getting more and more confident on the ball every game he plays.

Hope for a speedy recovery Ash.

I follow Juventus in the Serie A. But like last season when we played them in the champions league i was following Chelsea 100%.

hahaha ive noticed his brow since he signed for us, its so noticable. Maybe he likes it its not like he cant afford to get it waxed

Your my dream match if that makes you feel any better

Chelsea have confirmed that John Terry will not play in Saturday's FA Cup clash with Cardiff City. The 29-year-old has remained at the heart of the Blues' defence despite facing allegations about his private life and subsequently being stripped of the England captaincy. But assistant manager Ray Wilkins revealed that Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has now given Terry a short leave of absence. "John has been given a few days leave by Carlo and he will not play on Saturday," Wilkins toldSky Sports. "He will come back and prepare for our game against Wolves on the 20th. "They just had a little chat, John and Carlo, and decided that would be the best for all concerned."

Its pretty annoying because after we seem to play a big 4 team and win, we always seem to draw or lose the next game against a lower end position. Liverpool Home 2-0 Win Next Game Villa Away 2-1 Loss Arsenal Away 3-0 Win Next 2 Games Blackburn Away Loss Man City Away 2-1 Loss Arsenal Home 2-0 Win Next Game Everton away 2-1 Loss We cant seem to get a run happening after we beat a top 4 team. Only time its really happened this season is against manc u.

1 Petr Cech 2 Branislav Ivanovic 26 John Terry © 6 Ricardo Carvalho 3 Ashley Cole 8 Frank Lampard 12 John Mikel Obi 18 Yury Zhirkov 39 Nicolas Anelka 15 Florent Malouda 11 Didier Drogba. Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 43 Jeffrey Bruma, 24 Nemanja Matic, 13 Michael Ballack, 21 Salomon Kalou, 23 Daniel Sturridge. Ashley cole off injured with a knock, He should be ok. But was limping. No other injuries that im aware of. Everton could of won 3-1, after a penalty save from petr cech. There first goal came from a corner. Terry couldnt stay with saha. There second goal came from shakey defending again on behalf of terry and carvalho. Saha volleyed home.

Basically after taking the lead, we sat back and let them attack us, and we got out played for the remainder of the game. Beaten by the better team. Im sure there is match commentary around somewhere or you can read over the posts. We where just very disappointing.

FUCKIN SHIT DROPPED 3. JOY.
