Chelsea may miss injured trio

Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri may decide to face Arsenal without Marcel Desailly, Emmanuel Petit and Graeme Le Saux in the FA Cup quarter-final at Highbury tomorrow even though all three are in the squad after recovering from injuries.

Ranieri confirmed that France captain Desailly is over the hip injury which has sidelined him for the last three games but, like Le Saux – who has had a groin muscle strain – lacks match-fitness.
