Robben back for Chelsea

Chelsea winger Arjen Robben is available again after suspension for the trip to Birmingham after completing a four-match ban.

The Dutchman was sent off in the win at West Brom earlier this month and received an extended ban because it was his second dismissal this season.

Defender William Gallas serves the final match of his ban following his red card at Fulham while Glen Johnson remains sidelined with a hernia injury following surgery this week.

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