John Terry and William
Gallas are suspended for Chelsea but Paulo Ferreira is available after
missing seven games with a thigh injury. Didier Drogba is back from
African Nations Cup duty with the Ivory Coast. Asier del Horno and
Damien Duff - who missed the last two games - are also back in training.
Claude Makelele is close to a comeback but unlikely to be risked ahead
of Wednesday's crucial Champions League match against Barcelona here at
Stamford Bridge.
Colchester have centre-back Garry Richards available from a one-match
ban. Defender Liam Chilvers (hernia) and midfielder Kem Izzet (knee)
were unused substitutes against Walsall on Tuesday night and will be
short of match fitness following injuries. Stephen Hunt and Marino Keith
(both ankle) remain long-term absentees.
Probable
lineups:
Chelsea : Cech, Cudicini, Ferreira, Huth, Carvalho, Johnson, Del
Horno, Geremi, Lampard, Essien, Maniche, Diarra, Gudjohnsen,
Wright-Phillips, J Cole, Duff, Robben, Drogba, Crespo, C Cole.
