Benayoun available for Blackpool clash

Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun will be available for the home game with Blackpool tomorrow despite reports suggesting he will miss the game because of the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.

West Ham’s Israeli boss Avram Grant and defender Tal Ben Haim were set to miss today’s game against Stoke because of the Jewish Day of Atonement which ends before Chelsea’s clash with newly-promoted Blackpool tomorrow.
