Deco could miss the rest of the season after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury in Chelsea FC's 1-0 win at home to Manchester City FC on Sunday.
Drogba news
The Portuguese international playmaker limped off four minutes before half-time at Stamford Bridge, and manager Guus Hiddink admitted the initial prognosis is not good. "After 20 or 25 minutes he had this problem again, so he will be out again for a while," said the Dutchman. "He'll have to be very fit to come back this season. I have my doubts to be honest." There was better news for Chelsea about Didier Drogba, however, with Hiddink insisting the injury that forced the striker to hobble off in the second half was "not a big problem".
