Bridge: Ankle was held on by one ligament

CHELSEA defender Wayne Bridge has revealed the full horror of the ankle injury that put him out of action for eight months.

The left-back returned to competitive action for Chelsea as they crashed out of the Carling Cup to Charlton 5-4 on penalties on Wednesday night.

But while coach Jose Mourinho lost his first game at Stamford Bridge since taking over as Chelsea boss, the biggest boost of the night came from Bridge’s successful return to the first team.
