Grant hits out at Crouchy

Chelsea boss Avram Grant has hit out at Liverpool striker Peter Crouch after he claimed John Obi Mikel faked injury to get the lanky striker sent off in their Carling Cup quarter final clash.

  • Chelsea ready to sell four home-grown players
  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Palmer starts

  • "I think first if Peter Crouch didn't do what he did, which everybody saw, then Mikel would not be in that position," said Grant.



    "The one thing I know is that Mikel could not continue and if you remember I subbed him five minutes later.



    "It was a bad injury. I heard that Peter Crouch is a nice guy so he needs to look at himself and see what is wrong and look forward - not to find any other excuse.



    "Mikel trained today but he is not 100 percent.



    "The only thing I can think about is that he (Crouch) spoke about the players who play in his team. He knows the foreigners in his team very closely. I don't think he knows much about other foreigners."
