Bridge could miss rest of season

Chelsea left-back Wayne Bridge could miss the rest of the season with a
suspected broken ankle.
The England international, 24, was hurt in an innocuous challenge with Alan
Shearer during the Londoners' FA Cup defeat at Newcastle on Sunday.
"We think it's a big injury," said Jose Mourinho, whose Chelsea team this
week meet Barcelona in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Carling Cup
final.
William Gallas and Damien Duff could also miss the Barcelona game. ( ̄  ̄|||)
France defender Gallas and Ireland winger Duff both picked up their injuries
in the closing stages of Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at St James' Park.
With Bridge having gone off after Mourinho used all three substitutes, those
knocks plus Carlo Cudicini's red card meant Chelsea finished the game with
seven able-bodied players.
Cudicini would not have played against Barcelona, but had been promised a game
in the Carling Cup final, although he will now miss the Cardiff showpiece
through suspension.
The manager is not planning to add any new names to his squad ahead of the
trip to Barcelona, even though he has few options to replace Bridge at
left-back.
Celestine Babayaro left the club in January, ironically to join Newcastle, and
although Gallas has deputised at left-back before, he is struggling to be fit
himself.
It could be that Paulo Ferreira, usually a right-back, is switched to left-back with Glen Johnson, who ended the Newcastle game in goal, playing on the right.
Youngsters Ben Hudell, Joe Keenan and Sam Tillen would be options should
Mourinho decide to call up a replacement, but it is unlikely he would risk an
untried prospect in a Champions League tie.
Bridge's injury also means Mourinho, who reportedly wants to sign Ashley Cole
from Arsenal, will not have a specialist, senior left-back for the run-in to
the season.
"He (Bridge) has no chance of playing against Barcelona, probably will not
play against Liverpool (in the Carling Cup final) and maybe not for the rest
of the season," he said.
"The medical department will try to do everything to recover Gallas and Duff.
We will have to wait and see, but I won't cry about injuries because we will
have 11 players to play on Tuesday."
Shearer said he was unsure what caused Bridge's injury.
"I don't know what happened." he said.
"It was just a shame. I don't think we even touched each other.
"By all accounts it's pretty serious. I went into the dressing-room after the
game and wished him all the best."
Mourinho, whose team are chasing three trophies, has already lost winger Arjen
Robben to a serious injury.
