CHELSEA TO REST KEY DUO - REPORT

Chelsea manager Avram Grant will reportedly rest John Terry and Frank Lampard in the Champions League to keep them fit for the Carling Cup final.

Terry and Lampard both played against Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup on Saturday - with Lampard scoring two goals - but neither will play against Olympiacos in the Champions League, according to The Sun.

Grant wants them both fit and well-rested for Sunday's Carling Cup final against Tottenham, so Alex and Michael Ballack will continue for Chelsea in Greece.

The Blues boss also has a decision to make in attack as both Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are bidding to play as the lone striker.
