Blues have enough depth – Ancelotti

(26-12-2010) Chelsea’s squad can cope with the demands of a sustained title push, reckons manager Carlo Ancelotti. Question marks have been raised over the Stamford Bridge outfit’s ability to cope with four games in 10 days over the Festive Sesaon. "We had a problem because we had, at the same time, a lot of players injured," said Ancelotti, whose side have won just one of their last seven league games to slump from top to fourth. He added: "When you are not in a good moment, it's very difficult to put in the young players because you don't want to put responsibility on their shoulders. But now it's different. The squad is good, the players are in good condition, players without injury, and the squad is enough in this moment to play this game well - at our best." Chelsea’s next game is against Arsenal at the Emirates on Monday.
