Duff misses out on Monaco trip

Chelsea set off for their Champions League encounter with Monaco without Republic of Ireland winger Damian Duff and French defender William Gallas.

Both players are suffering from a fever but there was better news for Claudio Ranieri with Eidur Gudjohnsen and John Terry making the flight.

The duo had been doubtful for the trip but were included after training last night.

Provisional squad: Ambrosio, Terry, Desailly, Melchiot, Bridge, Lampard, Makelele, Geremi, Parker, Gronkjaer, Cole, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, Crespo, Mutu, Huth, Babayaro, Veron, Oliveira, Sullivan.
