Chelsea must plan without Cudicini

CHELSEA boss Claudio Ranieri confirmed that it will be another month before Carlo Cudicini returns to action after surgery to help ease the club’s goalkeeping problems.

However, he reassured Cudicini that, if he is still in charge next season, the Italian would remain his first-choice keeper despite the signing of Czech international Petr Cech.

Cudicini broke a bone in his hand during training last week and will definitely miss his side’s two-legged Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal.
