Lampard and Drog out for OT

Chelsea will be missing both Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba for their key Premiership battle against Man Utd at Old Trafford on Sunday. The two players both had a share in 50 goals last season, and Chelsea are on a terrible run of form without both.

"I am getting no good news from the medical department," he said. "I don't think they will be back for Sunday."

Missing both will be a key blow, and against Rosenborg, Chelsea looked like they were lacking some fight up front.

"The news is not getting worse but I want them to tell me the players are ready to train. But there is no good news."

Despite Shevchenko grabbing a goal against Rosenborg, Mourinho declared his anger at the missed opportunities, "of course I am alarmed. I am not happy. We cannot score goals.

"I am disappointed but the history of the game was simple, we had 20 chances and scored one goal. So maybe we need 40 chances to score two and 60 to score three.

"Our 20 chances were not enough to score two goals. It is not my strikers it is my team.

"My team played against a team that in my opinion did its game. Like smaller teams do when they visit the better teams, they come here to defend and are organised.

"But Chelsea produced 20 chances and got one in the net. We can speak and speak and speak but we could not score more than one goal. Nobody is happy."
