Blues without Gallas

Chelsea are missing versatile French defender William Gallas for their FA Cup quarter-final clash with Newcastle tomorrow night.

Gallas was shown a straight red card for his tackle on Heidar Helguson in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat by Fulham and begins a three-match suspension. Spaniard Asier Del Horno could deputise.

Dutch winger Arjen Robben also sits out the tie as he serves the third game of his four-match ban for his dismissal at West Brom.

Otherwise, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will select from a fully fit squad.

Team (from): Cech, Cudicini, Ferreira, Johnson, Terry, Huth, Carvalho, Del Horno, Makelele, Lampard, Essien, Geremi, Maniche, Gudjohnsen, J Cole, Duff, Wright-Phillips, Drogba, Crespo.
