Just one keeper for Jose

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho left his side short of a reserve goalkeeper after injury ruled Italian Carlo Cudicini out of the clash with Levski Sofia in the UEFA Champions League at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho left his side short of a reserve goalkeeper after injury ruled Italian Carlo Cudicini out of the clash with Levski Sofia in the UEFA Champions League at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s other reserve keeper Magnus Hedman was ineligible and so Hilario was recalled to the starting line-up.

Wayne Bridge and Khalid Boulahrouz replaced the rested Ashley Cole and suspended John Terry in defence while Paulo Ferreira was handed the right-back berth instead of Geremi.

Sofia, bottom of Group A without a win, relied on French striker Cedric Bardon and partner Nikolay Dimitrov to provide them with the power in attack.
