Turnbull looks set to face Hammers

Chelsea are without goalkeeper Hilario ahead of tomorrow’s game against West Ham and that could lead to rookie keeper Ross Turnbull facing Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Hilario suffered an injury to an abductor muscle in the FA Cup quarter-final win over Stoke.

He is also a doubt for the last 16 return leg against Jose Mourinho’s Inter on Tuesday night.

Turnbull faces the Hammers and young keeper Rhys Taylor will be on the substitute’s bench.

Full-back Jose Bosingwa (knee), midfielder Michael Essien (knee), left-back Ashley Cole (ankle) and defender Ricardo Carvalho (hamstring) are also out.

Provisional squad: Turnbull, Taylor, Ivanovic, Kalou, Matic, Alex, Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira, Terry, Borini, Lampard, Obi, Deco, Sturridge, Anelka, Zhirkov, J Cole, Belletti, Ballack, Kakuta.
