Chelsea youngster expected to return for Scunthorpe

Scunthorpe expect Chelsea full-back Ben Gordon to link up with their squad on Monday following his return to fitness. Gordon agreed to join the Iron on loan at the turn of the year for the rest of the season. However, the 19-year-old's arrival at Glanford Park has been held up by a hamstring injury. Iron boss Ian Baraclough is happy he will shortly have Gordon at his disposal. "It has been frustrating because I have been keeping in contact with Ben and he is champing at the bit to get here," Baraclough told the Scunthorpe Telegraph. "Chelsea have now confirmed that he can come here on Monday. "He is a young player who loves to get forward. I don't want to put pressure on him, but his style of play is very similar to Ashley Cole. He might give us the width we are looking for on the left."
