It was actually a charity match that Desailly played in- France's 1998 World Cup winning team vs Bordeaux. Marcel came through the test with no adverse reaction to his injury.

And the Official Chelsea website virtually confirmed that he will be on the bench on Saturday, after Robert Huth took part in a reserve team match yesterday- something he hasn't been doing with Marcel on the sidelines.

Eidur Gudjohnsen must also stand a great chance of playing on Saturday, after pulling out of Iceland's friendly with Mexico today. Had Eidur played in that match he would have been unavailable for Saturday, as the game is taking place in San Francisco.

However, Seba Veron and Hernan Crespo are both doubts as they are in action in South America tonight. And Geremi is also a doubt as Cameroon have a friendly match against Japan!

Other than that, we should have a full squad!
