Welcome

Hello, Welcome to Talkchelsea. For the game i think it is going to be interesting one for us because we are missing alot of our key players and if rumours are true we will be missing drogba aswell. I'd like to think we would still be able to win this game with no problems maybe a 2-0 or 3-0 scoreline sounds good.

Yeah this is not good. All key players.

WOW :ballack: Please leave this forum, people like you make me sick. How can you wish that upon anybody. And dont call anybody Glory Hunters here you don't know anybody on this forum and how much we love and respect the club we support. Please leave.

Well on several news sites it seems frank could be out for 8 weeks. Chelsea's Frank Lampard could be out for eight weeks after England training knock Frank Lampard plunged Chelsea into a crisis last night as he faced up to EIGHT WEEKS on the sidelines. Lamparddamaged his thigh in England’s first training session after arriving inDoha for the friendly against Brazil, with his condition immediatelydiagnosed as serious. England medical staff got the Chelseamidfielder on the first available flight back to London so he canattend the club’s Cobham headquarters for an in-depth scan today. TheFA attempted to play down concerns over the problem, merely reporting:“We can confirm that Frank Lampard picked up an injury to his thighwhilst training and will be returning home. There will be no furthercall-ups to the squad.” Chelsea will assess the injury today, hoping for positive news. Butthe initial fears are that Lampard could be out of action for twomonths - dealing a savage blow to the Blues’ title hopes and Chelseaboss Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti has already been forced to playwithout Ashley Cole for the next few weeks, after his depressed tibiafracture was spotted by doctors. More positively, Didier Drogba shouldrecover from his chest injury sustained in the win over ManchesterUnited which put Chelsea five points clear of the chasing pack. LosingLampard for a lengthy period, however, is a potentially devastatingblow especially with the Blues forced to play without Drogba, MichaelEssien, John Obi Mikel and Salomon Kalou for most of January because ofthe African Cup of Nations. Ancelotti, concerned over the age ofhis squad and the impact of the ACN, had already persuaded StamfordBridge chiefs to ask for a stay of execution over the FIFA transfer banimposed for the Gael Kakuta affair, allowing him to spend money onrecruitments in January. But the Italian will be utterlyfrustrated to have lost Lampard in a training session ahead of afriendly that has already been turned into a less than meaningfuloccasion because of the spate of England absentees. Lampard’sreturn to London means that Fabio Capello has to make a minimum fivechanges from the side that beat Belarus in the final World Cupqualifying game last month, with Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, StevenGerrard and Aaron Lennon already missing. That is likely to meanEngland returns for Manchester United duo Wes Brown and MichaelCarrick, with James Milner likely to start on the left of midfield andPeter Crouch partnering Wayne Rooney in attack. Mirror Football Terrible News, now waiting for the club to confirm. Oh please say a month at most.

Yep all done Kez Bit too slow Missy

Defiantly My prayers are with him and his family

Was just about to post this. Hope he is ok, At least Capello didnt risk him and he is back at the club getting the right treatment.

Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini rushed to hospital with 'possibly life-changing' injuries after motorbike smash Spurs goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken pelvis after a road smash. TheItalian stopper suffered what police have described as 'possiblylife-changing' injuries after crashing his BMW motorbike in Walthamstowin east London. Cudicini was rushed to hospital after a collision with a Fiesta carat around 10.30am this morning. Ambulance crews arrived on the sceneand an air-ambulance also flew in, although the latter was not used. 'A36-year-old male suffered injuries described as possibly life-changingand was taken to an East London hospital for further assessment andtreatment,' said a police spokesperson. An eyewitness immediately recognised Cudicini as he lay on the roadside as crowds gathered. The female driver and a child passenger walked away from the car -which was described as a 'write off' - and did not need hospitaltreatment. Aspokesperson for Tottenham, who could not confirm the extent of hisinjuries or whether he was driving the motorbike, said: 'We can confirmCarlo Cudicini was involved in a road accident this morning. 'Theclub doctor is with him at hospital where we await the result of scansand tests. When more is known and things are made clear, a statementwill be made through the club's website.' Cudicini, 36, signed from London rivals Chelsea in January this yearbut has made just 11 appearances with the White Hart Lane club. Hehas failed to dislodge first-choice Heurelho Gomes from the side andwas linked with a summer swap deal involving Portsmouth veteran DavidJames. Hemade his name at Chelsea joining the club from Castel Di Sangro in1999, initially on loan before signing a permanent deal. He was firstchoice for four seasons at Stamford Bridge until the arrival of PetrCech. Source: Daily Mail Carlo i hope your ok, my prayers are with you.
