Andre Villas-Boas may gamble on the fitness of John Terry in tomorrow night’s Champions League game against Napoli as his side struggles for leadership and discipline.
The former Porto boss said:
“I will leave it as late as possible and make a decision on him after training in Naples.”
Ashley Cole could also make a return to Chelsea’s starting line-up but Ryan Bertrand has travelled to Naples with the squad just in case and it’d be great for the latter to be trusted by the manager in such a big game.
Cole has been crap for the last 18 months and could be one of those that is moved on in the summer. There have been rumours going around that certain Chelsea players have been texting former boss Jose Mourinho and I believe the England left-back could be one of them, especially as he foolishly decided to praise his former coach on the eve of Chelsea’s clash against Birmingham.

Drogba
There are at least 5 players there who offer a serious goal threat in that lineup.
DEFENCE
Iva at RB for obvious reasons. Luis been good in CL so far. Cahill a little risky but Jr probably not fit. Cole as he has big game experience.
MIDFIELD
Essien to hold. Need some physicality in there. Ramires to charge up and down provide energy.
ATTACK
Sturridge not the ideal right winger, but will have to make do with him there for lack of better options. Mata to be the creative outlet, and Kalou to cut in from the left and join Drogs, who starts over Fernando Torrid.
