Terry could miss Bulgarian trip
Chelsea fear captain John Terry will miss the Blues' Champions League trip to face Levski Sofia on Wednesday with a back injury
Khalid Boulahrouz also missed the Fulham game on Saturday with an illness and Blues boss Jose Mourinho may be forced to keep Portuguese duo Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho in central defence.
Mourinho said: "Paulo is not a central defender. He never plays central defender but we asked him to do it and his answer was unbelievable.
"Paulo and Ricardo are both very fast and we can press high and that means the team is very compact. I really don't feel big problems. He played very well.
"Michael Essien can also play there but I didn't want to play Essien as a central defender because he's playing so well in midfield."
