Banned duo return for Chelsea

Chelsea will welcome back Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa for Sunday’s home clash with Tottenham.

The pair were suspended for the midweek Champions League win over Porto but are available for domestic games.

Joe Cole (knee), Yuri Zhirkov (knee) and Paulo Ferreira (knee) are all out with coach Carlo Ancelotti saving their return for next week’s Carling Cup tie with Queens Park Rangers.

Defender Alex is still struggling with a groin injury.

Provisional squad: Cech, Turnbull, Hilario, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, A Cole, Ballack, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Sturridge, Deco, Kalou, Malouda, Essien, Hutchinson, Belletti.
