Ancelotti rules out transfer window splurge

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out buying any new players in the January transfer window unless injuries force him to ask owner Roman Abramovich to open his cheque book.

The Italian coach, preparing his side for their Champions League, Group F, clash with Spartak Moscow at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night, insists that his current squad is good enough to see the Blues through to the end of the season, unless the club suffers a spate of long-term injuries.
