Cole back to fire up Chelsea

Jose Mourinho will welcome back England midfielder Joe Cole into the Chelsea squad for the visit of Valencia in their Champions League quarter-final, first leg at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night.

Cole has finally recovered from the stress fracture of the foot which has kept him out of action all season.

However, his return is bittersweet with Arjen Robben out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. England left-back Wayne Bridge is fit again after knee surgery.

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