da bet7k: England international Ashley Cole could miss Chelsea's Champions League clash at Spartak Moscow on Tuesday because of an ongoing ankle problem.
da brwin: Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is considering whether to risk playing Cole on Spartak's plastic pitch.
Former Arsenal star Cole often does not train for two days after a game in an attempt to manage his fitness and Anceotti admitted:"He needs more days to recover.
"For a year, he has had a little problem with his ankle. After the game you maybe have to give him two days of recovery instead of one.
"I played for ten years with a problem with my knee. To play a lot of games in a season is a lot of stress for your body.
"It is the same for (Michael) Essien. After training, we will take a decision. If he is comfortable on this pitch, he'll play. If he is not comfortable, he will not."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
