Hiddink plays down talk of Russian stars at Chelsea

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has played down reports of Russian players moving to Stamford Bridge.

"It's wonderful when young Russian players have an opportunity to play abroad," he said in Sport Express.

But he added: "I won't discuss any particular players.

"I haven't called players to tell them to move to England. I think that players need to get experience of playing not only in the English championship, but in the Spanish, Italian and German leagues, too."
