Sidwell, Pizarro get Chelsea axe
Steven Sidwell and Claudio Pizarro have both been axed from Chelsea's Champions League squad to accomodate the returning Michael Ballack and January signing Nicolas Anelka.
Pizarro has been unimpressive for Chelsea since he joined from Bayern Minich on a free tansfer.
Steven Sidwell has found himself on the sidelines quite often, and rumours of a move to Bolton and Tottenham had surfaced.
New £10 million capture Branislav Ivanovic is the other big name to miss out, which has come as a surprise to many.
