Chelsea will still be without wingers Boudewijn Zenden and Jesper Gronkjaer and midfielder Mario Stanic for Sunday's clash at Tottenham even though most of the injured players are back in training.
Zenden (ankle) and Stanic (stomach strain) are now seeking full match fitness but Gronkjaer, who returned against West Brom last week after being granted compassionate leave to deal with a family problem, is absent again.Although Celestine Babayaro is available again after injury, Graeme Le Saux is expected to start at left-back despite going down with a virus in midweek. Reserve keeper Ed de Goey continues to rest a back-problem, leaving young Lenny Pidgeley to continue as deputy on the bench to Carlo Cudicini.
