Carvalho is the latest key player ruled out for
Chelsea
Chelsea's Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho could be out
for up to eight weeks after injuring his back in Sunday's 1-1 home
draw with Everton. Portugal national team doctor Henrique Jones
examined the injury and instantly ruled him out of their Euro 2008
qualifiers with Armenia and Finland.
"It was not serious but he should rest for at least eight weeks,"
he said. If confirmed, it will be another blow for Chelsea who
already have Petr Cech, John Terry and Paulo Ferreira injured. One
grain of consolation is England left-back Ashley Cole's return to
fitness after an ankle problem.
