Chelsea pair doubtful

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has doubts over centre-back Ricardo Carvalho and goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini ahead of the trip to face Everton on Sunday.

Cudicini has a thigh injury, while Carvalho was forced out of action against Newcastle in midweek with an ankle problem. Khalid Boulahrouz is on standby to replace Carvalho.

Joe Cole is out for a further three weeks with a broken foot while Didier Drogba is expected to have recovered from a slight hamstring strain in time to be involved.

Team (from): Cudicini, Hilario, Hedman, Ferreira, Geremi, Terry, Carvalho, Boulahrouz, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Makelele, Diarra, Robben, Drogba, Shevchenko, Kalou, Wright-Phillips.
