Duff a doubt fo Chelsea

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho still has doubts over left-back Asier del Horno and Damien Duff ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Fulham.

Duff is back in training following the Achilles problem which forced him out of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Wigan a fortnight ago and could be handed a place on the bench.

Del Horno missed the victory over Arsenal at Highbury with a leg injury and remains a major doubt for the visit of their west London neighbours.

Provisional squad: Cech, Cudicini, Johnson, Gallas, Ferreira, Bridge, Terry, Carvalho, Huth, Makelele, Lampard, Essien, Duff, Robben, Gudjohnsen, Drogba, Wright-Phillips, J Cole, C Cole, Crespo.
