Malouda backs stand-ins to finish Euro job

CHELSEA winger Florent Malouda believes Chelsea can overcome their crippling injury list as they prepare to take on MSK Zilina in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night.

Having slumped at Birmingham at the weekend, Chelsea will again be without captain John Terry, Frank Lampard and Yossi Benayoun for the Zilina game and Yury Zhirkov is a doubt with a calf problem.

Defender Alex may not be risked as he requires knee surgery, despite declaring himself fit to play, and striker Didier Drogba has only just shaken off a dose of malaria.
