Morientes out of Chelsea matches

Morientes will miss Valencia's biggest matches of the season

Valencia striker Fernando Morientes will miss both legs of the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea because of a dislocated right shoulder.
The former Liverpool player ran into a post during Spain's 1-0 win over Iceland in a European Championship qualifier on Wednesday.

National team doctor Genaro Borras said Morientes will be out for four weeks.

Valencia visit Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Wednesday, with the return game in Spain six days later.

Chelsea boss Mourinho: Cole available
tribalfooball.com - April 03, 2007

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed Joe Cole is available for tonight's Champions League tie with Valencia.
"Joe Cole is not injured anymore. If he is ready to play or not is still a doubt. Michael Essien is out," he revealed.

"Arjen Robben is a loss. He is a player that gives what you need in these home matches. It is a game we have to try and win and Robben is an attacking player. He enjoys to play in these kind of matches. We will miss him but this is nothing new for us."

I predict a 1 - 0 win for us

Terry confident despite first-leg slip-up

Chelsea captain John Terry is confident of reaching the Champions League semi-finals after tonight's 1-1 draw with Valencia at Stamford Bridge.

Terry said: 'We scored a great goal and the fighting spirit was just what we needed.

'We have shown in the Champions League we can go away and go through. We need to be on our game and full of confidence and take the game to them.

'With Didier scoring goals we are sure we can score a few goals. We just need to keep a clean sheet.'

Drogba's goal was his 30th of a superb season but he refused to take all the credit for his team's fightback.

The Ivorian said: 'It was difficult. They were playing well but we didn't panic. We knew we were going to have one chance.

'The most important thing is not my goal to score, to come back into the game and we believe we can qualify there.'

Manager Jose Mourinho also refused to be concerned by Valencia's potentially crucial away goal.

'With a draw everything is open,' he said.

'I believe they believe they are in a better position now because they are at home (in the second leg) but why not go and win in Valencia or get a draw and take it to extra time?

'We need to play well. We know the atmosphere we will get there so we need a good referee too.

'This result still gives us one more week to believe we can progress in the Champions League.'

Mourinho also welcomed the second-half appearance of Joe Cole after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a broken foot.

'Cole is not ready but it is important he is back,' he added.

dragg SG

chelsea played terribly. they hardly created any chances.

the equalizer was a gift from valencia.

i seriously doubt they can make it to the semis.

songsong07 SG

Biase ManU fan talking nonsense here again.

It's more like Valenci goal given by the Blues.

Drogba one is a hard fought goal.

stellazio SG

dragg is not a man utd fan..

silva goal was unstoppable.. we should and could have penalty.. but what to expect.. both valencia and chelsea playing styles are to cancel out the other..

tight midfield and defence.. not many chances you will expect..

ghimpheng SG

rewatch the match and see how many chances chelsea created

the Equalizer was due to a good Long ball from ashely cole combine with a good forward run by drogba

if u had notice for the whole match ayala had problems marking drogba

that why jose have nothing much to worry about going to valencia stadium he know perfectly what to do against valencia especially against ayala
