Didier Drogba will line up against Bolton Wanderers

Bolton full-backs Nicky Hunt and Quinton Fortune are doubtful for the Barclays Premiership match against Chelsea at the Reebok Stadium.

Hunt suffered a hamstring injury in the defeat of Arsenal while Fortune limped off with an ankle problem.

Nicolas Anelka will spearhead the Bolton attack after scoring twice against the Gunners.

Bolton squad: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Ben Haim, Meite, Fortune, Pedersen, Nolan, Faye, Campo, Speed, Davies, Anelka, Diouf, Giannakopoulos, Vaz Te, Al Habsi, Tal, Fojut.

Chelsea pair Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba played the entire 90 minutes against Manchester United and should be available for the clash against Bolton.

Midfielder Ballack had been struggling with a calf injury but managed to play in the draw at Old Trafford, while Premiership top scorer Drogba had an ankle complaint.

Centre-half Ricardo Carvalho looked to have fully overcome his ankle problem when he scored against United, but Salomon Kalou missed the clash with a medial ligament injury.

Chelsea squad: Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Geremi, Terry, Carvalho, Boulahrouz, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Makelele, Drogba, Robben, Shevchenko, Wright-Phillips, J Cole, Diarra, Mikel.
