No Cole for Chelsea

Chelsea will be without suspended England midfielder Joe Cole for the trip to his former club West Ham on Monday.

Damien Duff, left out of the squad for the win over Birmingham, will replace him with Didier Drogba given the striking role ahead of Hernan Crespo as coach Jose Mourinho continues to rotate his strikers over the holiday programme.

Claude Makelele, who started the Birmingham game as a substitute, will return the midfield anchorman role with Eidur Gudjohnsen or Michael Essien stepping down to accommodate him.

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