Cudicini's a weekend doubt
06 Dec 2006 - 11:24:54
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho could be without the services of Carlo Cudicini for this weekend's crunch Premiership clash with Arsenal.
The 33-year-old missed Tuesday's Champions League win against Levski Sofia through injury and is unlikely to have recovered in time to face the Gunners.
"If I don't have Carlo, I have Hilario and Magnus Hedman," said Mourinho.
"We have permission from the Premier League to play him (Hedman).
"Carlo has a muscle injury which the scan has confirmed. He did it taking the last goal-kick against Bolton."
First-choice keeper Petr Cech is expected to miss the rest of the season with a serious head injury, while Hilario played in Tuesday's 2-0 win against the Bulgarian champions.
