Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has hinted he may look to bring in cover for Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel in January.
Both players are set to feature for Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations and the Blues will be without them until mid-February if the Super Eagles go all the way to the final.
It leaves Chelsea with a potential problem to address when the transfer window opens.
And Di Matteo said: “We’re looking at that, because we’ll lose Victor and John Obi Mikel for that tournament.
“We’ll look and see how we deal with it, but for the moment we’re okay.”

To me,i want chelsea to buy a good sriker and williams.blue 4 life,
To me, chelsea should go for Willian and Falcao, but chelsea have to give Marin a chance to showcase his talent. Up Chelsea.
think marin get some fieldtime.mikel is a good player but he disappointed against Liverpool....played in more advanced position may he seeks a goal.Chelsea might find a talented defensive midfielder suits to quick counter attacking
we have ROMEU AND MARIN EVEN LUIZ CAN PLAY NUMBER SIX THEN WE PLAY 5-2-3 INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY BUT WE NEED A STRIKER
Pls. Sell sturidge and buy Falcao,william and fellaini. Blues 4 life
Chelsea pls sign felliani dis jenuary with good striker if falcao isn't goin to be available.,,,
Yea i agree with on that brother, those are d players we need and notin more, willian or felliani, falcao... Not an average player like walcot co's we don't need him
RDM you talk true expecially that our blocking form wil gonna miss obi most.try n get williams,fellanin nd falcao.
