The Chelsea manager, Claudio Ranieri, confirmed that it will be another month before the goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini returns to action after surgery.
Cudicini broke a bone in his hand in training last week and will definitely miss his side's Champions' League quarter-final tie against Arsenal, but could be back in time for the semi-finals if Chelsea qualify.
Ranieri also responded to the latest speculation about whether he has a future at the club. "From the beginning, there have been these rumours and I don't give importance to this rubbish," he said.
"I continue to build and think about my team. That is the most important thing. If I had to win a trophy, I would buy players who were 28 or 29, who are full of experience.
"But I prefer to continue with the idea of Roman Abramovich, Peter Kenyon and myself to build very good young players," he added.
