ANCELOTTI: ALEX ABSENTCarlo Ancelotti has confirmed he has no fresh additions to the squad for the trip to Ajax on Friday, and will be without Alex for a month due to a thigh injury.
The defender sustained the problem during training earlier in the week, and he joins Petr Cech on the absentee list as we travel to Amsterdam tomorrow morning, while Yossi Benayoun's groin injury continues to prevent him from a Chelsea debut.
Cech's absence means a chance for backup goalkeepers Ross Turnbull and Hilario to compete for the jersey while Cech recovers from the calf injury that is expected to keep him out for around a month.
