CHELSEAS title tilt will be boosted by the speedy return
of keeper Petr Cech and defender Ricardo Carvalho. Cech has
recovered from a calf injury and is set to start against West Ham
at home tomorrow.
After intensive treatment from Blues medical staff, he is back TWO
weeks sooner than expected. That is a major boost for Avram Grant
as his team attempt to claw back the gap on leaders Arsenal.
Chelsea will be further strengthened by news that Carvalho is also
ahead of schedule in his recovery. The Portugal international
suffered cracked vertebrae and was told he would miss EIGHT
weeks.
But SunSport can reveal Blues are confident he will be back in time
to face Arsenal in two weeks. Carvalhos return for that crunch
match is even more important given that Michael Essien will be
banned for the game.
