CARLO: SHEVA CAN GO

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he expects Andriy Shevchenko to be leaving the club before the end of the transfer window.

The Italian was speaking after discussions with the Ukraine international, from which it appears the 32-year-old will be departing Stamford Bridge.

'We don't have news of players that will come into Chelsea, only that Shevchenko will decide to return to go to play in another team,' the manager said.

'I spoke with Shevchenko, and he would like to play with continuity. Here for me it is difficult to give him this possibility to play a lot of matches and I think he will take the right decision for him.

'He will take his decision, it is not our problem, and he will choose the team that is right for him.'

The manager also confirmed it was nothing to do with speculation suggesting Shevchenko had been left out of the Champions League squad.

'I spoke with him and he takes this decision. I have time to choose the squad in the Champions League, the only thing is Shevchenko didn't have the possibility to play with continuity, he took the decision only for this,' Ancelotti said.

The manager has also discounted media stories that Chelsea have made a £57 million bid for Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery. 'It is not true,' he said
