Chelsea boss Grant puts Carling Cup ahead of Olympiacos clash

Chelsea boss Avram Grant is ready to gamble by leaving John Terry and Frank Lampard out of his team for tonight's clash against Olympiacos.

The Sun says Chelsea face Olympiakos in the Champions League last 16 but the Blues boss is prepared to leave the two superstars on the bench.

Grant does not want to risk the pair, both recently back from long injury lay-offs, ahead of Sunday's Carling Cup final with Spurs.

Skipper Terry and Lamps have been told they will definitely start at Wembley - but leaving them out in Greece is a huge risk.
