Cudicini blow for Chelsea

CHELSEA boss Avram Grant was dealt another goalkeeping blow when Carlo Cudicini was forced off in the first half against Fenerbahce.

Grant lost first-choice stopper Petr Cech ahead of the Champions League quarter-final through a facial injury, then Cudicini was taken off in the 26th minute at Stamford Bridge clutching his right hamstring.

Hilario, who deputised last season when the two goalkeepers were injured, came on but looked shaky when the ball was at his feet.
