He’s not been injured so he is not going to be struggling too much in terms of sharpness and fitness,” Lescott said. “All the boys are excited and can’t wait for him to get playing again,” the England international added.Roberto Di Matteo takes a fifth-placed Chelsea side to Eastlands in search of a fifth straight win since he succeeded the sacked Andre Villas-Boas.
