As Expected - Chelsea Play Down League Cup Exit

23 September 2010 10:03
Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti says he is more concerned with injuries to Gael Kakuta, Yossi Benayoun and Salomon Kalou than about the Carling Cup exit to Newcastle. Carlo Ancelotti: "Kakuta had a problem on his leg after the tackle in first half while Benayoun's injury is his calf and Kalou hurt his thigh. "We will know more tomorrow but they don't look good. The will miss the next few games. "I am disappointed with the result but happy with the performance. We had a fantastic reaction when down 3-1 and it was 10 against 11. "There was good spirit and personality from the young players. The game was very difficult but at the end we are happy for the performance of our players. "The Carling Cup is not our priority. We have a very big game this weekend. We wanted to give opportunity to our young players to improve their skills and rest some of first team players. I am not so disappointed. "We did our best. I am disappointed for the result because we conceded four goals, but the performance was good."
