Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari admits he's unhappy with his squad depth.
He said: "We have played some very good games, but we didn't play well in one or two and paid the price for that.
"Maybe in the future I will have more options because we will have Essien, Ballack, Carvalho and Ashley Cole back, and that will be good for me.
"I am not happy at the moment because I don't have all the players at my disposal.
"When I have these players, it is better for me because I will work and decide who will play and who won't.
"That is my job as a coach. I need to talk and explain to them who is playing or not playing. This is a team and I am part of that team."
