Subject: Latest news (8/22) Posted by: Prettyfly - [17431315] Tue, Aug 22, 12:03 Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli, still without the injured Albert Ferrer, Emerson Thome and Jess Hogh, has named outspoken Frenchman Frank Leboeuf in the 22-man squad for tonight's Premiership clash with Bradford City at Valley Parade. However, Leboeuf will face a battle to regain his starting place from Christian Panucci, signed on a one-year loan deal from Internazionale. Chelsea may start the game with both of his new strikers, Ashley Ward and Benito Carbone, who both came off the substitutes' bench at Anfield. Bradford will have the squad that went down to Emile Heskey's second-half strike in the 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on Saturday on duty. Patrick Vieira cannot appeal against his sending off against Liverpool - his second red card in three days. Vieira will miss five matches, starting with Arsenal's Premiership game at Chelsea on 6 September. Ipswich promising teenage defender Titus Bramble, back after a long injury, teamed up with record-signing Hermann Hreidarsson in defence. Town could be without John Scales, Wayne Brown and Venus as the trio are struggling to recover from injuries. With new £11million Tottenham striker Sergei Rebrov likely to be an automatic choice for most games, Ferdinand faces a battle with Iversen for the other front-line role. Boss Graham is fighting to convince goalkeeper Ian Walker to stay at Spurs and fight for his place after losing out to newcomer Neil Sullivan for the opener. Midfielder Stephen Clemence is standing by in case Oyvind Leonhardsen suffers a reaction to his first full 90 minutes on Saturday since a heel injury last March. | ||||||
