Duo miss out for Chelsea

Damien Duff and Hernan Crespo have lost their battles to join Chelsea’s long-running revenge bid against Barclaycard Premiership leaders Arsenal at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Manager Claudio Ranieri’s 11th attempt to overturn the Gunners has suffered a double blow with £17m (€25.3m) winger Duff still not recovered fully from an Achilles tendon injury and £16.8m (€25m) striker Crespo ruled out with a high temperature.
