I think that's our line-up than. Tbh we don't need Ivanovic for this one. Stoke doesn't have a pacy left-winger so Ferreira won't be exposed.

Matthew Etherington? He's their best player. I wouldn't be averse to playing Essien at RB and starting with Ramires.

Whoever is at right-back will most likely be spending a lot of their time in the Stoke half, judging by past performances at Stamford Bridge by the Potters. And Ferreira is a very, very good crosser of a ball from deep positions, in my view. Maybe not so good when crossing from the by-line but he's excellent at putting balls into the box from deep.

John Terry has tonight (Saturday) been ruled out of England's next two games due to injuries to his right hamstring and glute muscles.

John has spoken personally to the England management team, and Chelsea and England medical staff have also been in touch. All are agreed that John's injuries, that he has carried since pre-season, would benefit from a period of rest and rehabilitation.

This follows the news of Frank Lampard's surgery to take place next week.

This isn't good, I guess Bran will play in the centre with Alex against the Spammers and isn't Bosingwa back in full training? Then he should play on the right. He probably won't be fit though, so Ferreria will most likely be on the right.

Looks unlikely:

So thats:

JT - 2/3 weeks

Lampard - 1/2 weeks

Ivanovic - 2/6 weeks

Bosingwa - 1/2 weeks?

Bruma had surgery on the 20th, so he should be back soon, although I couldn't give a date.

Yeah I thought he'd recently had surgery, lets hope he's back soon or it may have to be Essien at the back against the Hammers.

that is a massive blow that Ivanovic is injured!! Such a fucking coinsidence that everyone starts getting injured "after" deadline day! typical!

[Miguelito 459]

with the ivanovic thing. i think it's kind of weird to have 2-6 weeks. thats a huge difference. u would think they would no a lil better but i mean i dont know the full situation like the doctors do

[RX8 40]

Well there is no doubt about it... a Young Boy is going to play at CB... We better Score a lot of gol because we can lost our clear Golkeeper time next game...

[Wilson 358]

Not so good news
