Spain blast Chelsea over Del Horno injury

CHELSEA have been criticised for supplying Spain with “vague” information about full-back Asier del Horno’s fitness.

Del Horno has been ruled out with a calf strain picked up playing for his club and the Spanish are seeking FIFA permission to replace the Stamford Bridge defender with Getafe’s Mariano Pernia.

And Spain’s team doctor Genaro Borras is complaining he was not given the full details of Del Horno’s injury.
