Three of Chelsea's players have fitness fears ahead of their Champion's League game against Juventus tonight.
Top scorer Nicolas Anelka has a bruised toe, midfielder Deco is struggling with a hamstring tear and defender Ricardo Carvalho is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
Fitness tests on Anelka are taking place before the Champion's League last-16 second-leg match with Juventus. Chelsea lead one-nil from the first leg.
Chelsea's boss Guus Hiddink doubted Anelka would be fit for the game.

The Blues face Italian side Juventus for the first time in a European competition, when they meet at Stamford Bridge tonight.
The two sides have never met. Chelsea will meet their ex-manager Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked in 2004 by owner Abramovich.
Ranieri did not win any trophy for Chelsea in his four-year stint at Stamfod Bridge. He remains popular with both the team and with Blues fans. Mid-fielder Frank Lampard had nothing but praise for Ranieri.
