Ancelotti's nervous wait
Tottenham had no reply to Ashley Cole, Michael Ballack and Drogba's goals, which set The Blues on an 11th successive win. It was also really a game of injuries: Tottenham's Sebastien Bassong, was carried off with a suspected fractured cheekbone and Ledley King was taken off with a hamstring injury.
"We don't know precisely what the problem is yet, it's too early - we'll have to wait some days to see. We hope it's only cramp but we'll have a better idea on Monday. We'll have a precise diagnosis then. But it's his calf, not his knee,” the Chelsea coach said.
Tottenham, place sixth, still have a fighting chance for the Premier League title, but Bassong, Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson are out, leaving a gaping hole in the defence.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said: "He got a bang on the head and his eye is all swollen up. It doesn't look too clever. Woodgate is nowhere near playing again. He went to see a specialist again on Saturday and he just can't train.”
In the Chelsea camp all medical staff are focused on getting Drogba up and running, hopefully in time for Champions League matches.
