Andre Villas-Boas will be without the services of his captain as the Blue’s take on the Toffees in the Barclays Premier League due to injury.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 struggling to reach the heights of previous seasons in the league. His bad luck seems to have grown onto his international
career as well as he was sacked as captain of the national side.
Allegations of racially abusing Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anton-Ferdinand-c6260, to which the Chelsea skipper pleaded ‘not guilty’. The court date for the hearing was set for after the Euros, which take place in the summer, yet in the meantime the FA decided
to strip the player of the English captaincy.
The decision has had a domino effect in recent weeks, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello not having been consulted in the decision making process. Capello sought talks with the FA and handed in his resignation at the end to send the FA into a state of emergency
as they look to find a replacement in time for the Euros.
However, all that will not be too important for Chelsea manager, Andre Villas-Boas, who is struggling to hold on to the hotly contested fourth spot in the league. From AVB, the most important item on the agenda would be picking up three points against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043
on the weekend.
He will, however, have to achieve that goal without the services of his talismanic skipper as Terry is set to miss the clash due to injury.
Villas-Boas confirmed the news while speaking at a press conference. He said, “He has a couple of days off but that is because of his injury, not the turmoil and the media.”
Chelsea have not been solid at the back with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 seemingly more concerned with scoring goals instead of stopping them.
Despite all of that the Blues are still the favourites to come out on top against Everton, despite the latter having pulled off one of the surprises of the season by beating Manchester City.
