Injury boost for Chelsea players

Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Deco are included in the Chelsea squad for Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Porto.

Chelsea will finish top of Group D if they secure their first ever victory at Porto’s Stadium of the Dragon, although both clubs have already qualified for the next round.

Chelsea have 10 points from four games, one more than Porto, but the London club lost and drew in their previous two visits to the northern Portuguese city. First place in the group grants a favourable seeding in the draw for the next round.

Chelsea beat Porto 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the opening round but the Dragons bounced back and are on a three-game winning streak in the competition.
