Chelsea v West Ham United
Friday, 12 March 2010 14:15Chelsea 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.
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola welcomes back Danny Gabbidon and Benni McCarthy for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League match at Chelsea.
Centre-back Gabbidon returns from a hamstring problem while striker McCarthy, a January transfer window signing, has recovered his match fitness after a knee injury.
Julien Faubert (hamstring) and Manuel Da Costa (suspended) are the latest players to be ruled out, while Mark Noble, Herita Ilunga, Zavon Hines, Luis Boa Morte and Calum Davenport remain on the sidelines.
Chelsea team from: Turnbull, Taylor, Ivanovic, Kalou, Matic, Alex, Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira, Terry, Borini, Lampard, Obi, Deco, Sturridge, Anelka, Zhirkov, J Cole, Belletti, Ballack, Kakuta.
West Ham United team from: Green, Stech, Kurucz, Daprela, Spector, Gabbidon, Upson, Tomkins, Collison, Kovac, Parker, Behrami, Diamanti, Dyer, Franco, Cole, Mido, McCarthy, Ilan.
