Andriy Shevchenko has been given a vote of confidence by Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho and captain John Terry, after being
criticised for recent displays.
The 30-year-old striker, who cost £30m from AC Milan in May, has
scored just twice in 10 games so far this season.
But after Match of the Day pundit Alan Hansen called him
"heavy-legged", Mourinho said: "He is just lacking the one goal
which will give confidence."
After a subdued display in the 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa on
Saturday, Hansen expressed his fears for the Ukraine striker.
"When we saw him at the World Cup, he'd been out for a long time
and the argument was that he wasn't fit.
"I keep on hearing and reading that he's going to get better and in
time he will score goals.
"I'm not so sure. His performances so far in the Premiership have
not been that great and when Michael Ballack and Joe Cole come
back, I'm not sure he's going to play."
