Ancelotti happy to hand Borini winning Chelsea debut

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists there's Academy talent good enough to cover their senior players.

Didier Drogba was forced off late on in yesterday's victory over Tottenham and Ancelotti argued: "In the last game against Porto we won without Didier and we have Nicolas Anelka, Salomon Kalou, we have Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini.

"Borini is a young player and we are pleased he came on for his first game in the Premier League. We have a very good academy and we want to take a young player into the first team.

"All the players did a very good job. The match was easy in the second half. If you don't do a good job on the pitch against Tottenham you cannot win 3-0.

"We need to maintain the mental attitude and win our next game against QPR in the Carling Cup on Wednesday.

"Our next game will not be easy. We do not think about records, only wining the next game."
