JFH missed Bolton game
Hasselbaink didn't play in Saturday's draw at Bolton, after suffering an injury in training.

But, Ranieri is convinced his leading scorer will return soon.

"I hope to see him back on the pitch with Chelsea very quickly.

"I don't exactly know what happened to him, but I think he got a kick in the backside during training.

"It is very important that Jimmy comes back quickly if we are to think about improving on our sixth place of last season and getting back into the Champions League" said Ranieri.
