Ashley Cole to miss Liverpool match

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has revealed that he does not expect Ashley Cole to be fit for Sunday's match with Liverpool.

Cole missed Chelsea's 3-2 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek with a hamstring problem, and Di Matteo has admitted that he is likely to be absent for the match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Di Matteo told reporters: "Sunday's probably too early for him but hopefully he'll be back for the next game against West Brom."

Chelsea are currently one point behind Manchester United in the Premier League table.
