I wasn't in great shape because I haven't played.[LNB]"But if there is no transfer, I will be fine at Chelsea."[LNB]The Blues could allow Carvalho to leave, despite the player being a major factor in their success over recent seasons, due to the improved form of fellow centre-half Alex during the Portugal international's absence.[LNB]
