Zola may start as substitute for Blues

Gianfranco Zola may have to start his 300th Chelsea game as a substitute when Blackburn Rovers visit Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Zola has fully recovered from a hamstring injury sustained at Birmingham two weeks ago and boss Claudio Ranieri must decide whether to break up the Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink-Eidur Gudjohnseo partnership to accommodate the popular veteran.
