Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that the former Middlesbrough shot-stopper Ross Turnbull will remain in goal for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Internazionale.

Turnbull started Saturday's 4-1 Premier League victory against West Ham United as both Petr Cech (calf) and Hilario (groin) are currently in the Stamford Bridge treatment room

Ancelotti said, with his team trailing 2-1 after last month's first leg in Milan: "It is not possible for Cech or Hilario to recover, so Turnbull will play and Rhys Taylor will stay on the bench like on Saturday.

"There's no chance of me taking a risk on Cech. Turnbull is a confident lad and we have confidence in him. Until now, Cech has not trained so it's impossible that he might play tomorrow.

"We have to play well as a team. Cech is injured, but Turnbull is a good goalkeeper who has played very well this season and improved every day.

"So, for me, it's not a problem. Cech has more experience than Turnbull for sure, but Ross is young and has enthusiasm to play. He wants to play and, for him, this will be a great, great experience."
