Shevchenko worry for Chelsea

Chelsea are waiting on the fitness of Andriy Shevchenko ahead of their trip to Blackburn on Sunday.

The striker suffered a knock to his ankle in the final moments of their Carling Cup win over Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Captain John Terry is out with fracture bones in his foot while winger Florent Malouda remains doubtful with a knee injury. Didier Drogba is sidelined after knee surgery but Claudio Pizarro should have shaken off a virus in time to be included in the squad.

Provisional squad: Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Belletti, Ferreira, Carvalho, Alex, Ben-Haim, A Cole, J Cole, Lampard, Essien, Sidwell, Kalou, Shevchenko, Mikel, Sinclair, Wright-Phillips, Pizarro.
