Shoulder injury sidelines Boulahrouz

Chelsea FC have lost another defender ahead of their meeting with FC Porto after the versatile Khalid Boulahrouz dislocated his shoulder on Saturday.

Chelsea FC have lost another defender ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League meeting with FC Porto after the versatile Khalid Boulahrouz damaged a shoulder in Saturday's 4-0 win against Norwich City FC in the English FA Cup fifth round.

Dislocated shoulder
The 25-year-old Dutch international was making his return from six weeks out with an ankle ligament injury but failed to make it to half-time at Stamford Bridge after being hurt while defending a corner. "Boulahrouz has dislocated his shoulder," said Chelsea manager José Mourinho, "and will be out for quite a time." The English champions are already without first-choice left-back Ashley Cole while John Terry has only recently returned from a back injury.
