Last season's English champions, London football players, continue to be plagued by injuries. After Tuesday's match against "Aston Villa," the list of injured players was updated with defender Khalid Boulahrouz. The Dutchman suffered a knee injury in the first half, which will sideline him for 4 to 6 weeks. Meanwhile, another defender Ricardo Carvalho will miss the League Cup matches in early January against "Wycombe" due to yellow cards. However, there is also some good news at the blues club. According to coach Jose Mourinho, defender John Terry should return to the pitch after a back operation in the match against "Wigan" on January 13, while midfielder Arjen Robben and goalkeeper Petr Cech will return in a week. As revealed by J. Mourinho, in January, his team will try to acquire another striker and defender. Sol Campbell from "Portsmouth" and Micah Richards from "Man City" are the most likely candidates for the latter position. One of the favorites in the Premier League, "Chelsea," is currently in a bit of a pitfall - the team played the last three games at a tie and is trailing the leader "Man Utd" by 6 points. However, according to J. Mourinho, this gap could have been even greater. "Taking advantage of our failures, 'Man Utd' could have increased the gap to 10, 12 or 14 points. They dropped 5 points in matches against 'West Ham' and 'Newcastle,' and I am happy that the difference is currently only 6 points. That is nothing. Last season, after Christmas, we were already trailing by 11,12 points and 'caught up' with our opponents," the Portuguese manager emphasized, indicating that the whole fight is still ahead.
