Chelsea’s Carvalho injured on international duty

Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho has picked up an injury on international duty and was forced to miss Portugal’s friendly with China on Wednesday night.

Carvalho picked up a thigh problem in Portugal’s training camp and officials thought it better to leave him out of the match.

It indicates that he may now be in doubt for Sunday’s FA Cup quarter final against Stoke City but Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti may be happy to leave him out of that clash as the London club facer a busy schedule in the next few weeks with important domestic and Champions League matches coming up.
