Trio miss Blues' trip to France

Chelsea travelled to France today with all but three of Jose Mourinho’s first team squad ahead of tomorrow night’s opening Champions League clash against Paris St Germain.

Injured goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini (elbow) and winger Arjen Robben (ankle) were still not ready for selection, while Celestine Babayaro was rested as Mourinho took a squad of 21 players to Paris.
