New injury setback for Chelsea defender Carvalho

Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho suffered a fresh injury setback during their FA Cup victory over Ipswich.

One blip for Chelsea was a recurrence of Carvalho's hamstring injury. It forced him out of the action in the second half but Blues No2 Ray Wilkins does not believe it is serious.

"We took him off as soon as he felt his hamstring," said Wilkins.

"I don't think it is as serious as it has been. We will have a look at it tomorrow but I think it is just a bit of stiffness."
