Cole injury blow as Blues blitz Blackburn

GOALS from Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and substitute Salomon Kalou kept Chelsea in touch with leaders Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premiership.

“It is incredible because we do not have small injuries. It is big injury after big injury,” said a frustrated Jose Mourinho.
