Not for long afaik, he just came off to be sure.

He will be out for atleast 2 weeks starting from the psg game that means that he will be either available for the first leg against Atletico or most likely for the Liverpool away game. Anyway he's obviously the most important Chelsea player this season but he also have missed just about 90 minutes of playing time since the beggining of the season so this unexpected break for him could be vital for his remaining season for us. That means his injury is not 100% something bad for us. Also Schurle is in great form too so i hope he could replace him well today, in the other hand Salah have had few nice touches too and he's fresher than anyone so we can't complain.

Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpi, Matic, Ramires, Schurle, Willian, Salah, Ba
Subs: Shwarzer, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Tores, Eto'o, Oscar, Luiz


After the crucial goal against psg Ba gets some credit, Hazard is injured so the obvious choice was Schurle. The only thing that make me worry is the defense, i mean its obvious best defense in the EPL by far but still why Jose didn't gave a rest to either Ivanovic or Terry when both was playing injured against psg at the end. Was simple solution to put Cole instead of Azpi on left back, move Azpi to right back and put Cahill with Terry/Ivanovic and some of then gets a bit of a rest. I am very confident about the middle both Matic and Ramires are well rested. And incase the match doesn't go in our way we've got pretty deep bench too.Hopefully we can get a win today, would be nice if we put some pressure on Liverpool & City and keep ourselves in the battle until the end.

wow, i am going to contact roman to see if you can replace jose as manager. you clearly know chelsea more than he does!!! impressive!!

You clearly don't realize that sarcasm is used by intelligent people, something that you obviously aren't.



Both yellows to Chico was 100% glad the ref gave them. Too bad Salah hit the post in 5th minute, we should've leading by now. Anyway i believe we can have both Eto'o and Ba on pitch in second half and look for fast goal.

Come on you stupid assholes win this game

BA !!!

We should've scored 2nd after the first to eliminate the drama factor at the end. A lot of misses by Eto'o and Salah. I could pick Matic & Azpi for best players today for us, both played very well and run a lot, especially Azpi, and Matic gave the assist to Ba for the goal and pretty much controled the center of the field. The hard battles are coming, first we should concentrate on Sunderland, Liverpool have a tricky away game at Norwich who find for survive.

all we have to do is beat Liverpool !!!!

This. Never would've thought that city would drop points.
