Dynamo Kiev captain Andriy Shevchenko blames injury for his dismal time at Chelsea.
Sheva insists he enjoyed his spell with the Blues, but admits it did not go to plan.
"I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time," Shevchenko said. "Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.
"[But] I didn't leave Chelsea with bad memories though. I enjoyed my time there despite things not going so well on the pitch. I won a couple of trophies while I was there [the FA Cup and League Cup]. Chelsea is a big, ambitious club and I wish them well.
"I still follow Chelsea's fortunes. It's an important game for both clubs on Sunday but I hope Chelsea win, of course."
