Carvalho set for Chelsea return

Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho is set to return for tomorrow’s FA Cup fifth-round clash against Norwich at Stamford Bridge.

Carvalho missed Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough with a fever but has made a full recovery and should start alongside skipper John Terry.

Mikel Jon Obi returns to the squad after overcoming a thigh problem but Ashley Cole (knee), Joe Cole (foot) and Michael Ballack (thigh) are unavailable.

Provisional squad: Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Geremi, Terry, Carvalho, Essien, Makelele, Lampard, Obi, Diarra, Morais, Ballack, Bridge, Drogba, Shevchenko, Wright-Phillips, Kalou.
