Lathrope: Suffered ankle injury

The 22-year-old suffered ligament damage in the 1-0 over Cheltenham, but believes it's not as bad as the similar injury that ruled him out of action for three months last season.

"I don't think I'm going to be ready for Gillingham away this Saturday, but I'm hoping to be back for Crawley the following weekend," he told The Western Morning.

"The good thing is that it's not as bad as the one I got last season.

"I remember how my ankle felt when that happened, and I never want that again.

"I knew straight away at Cheltenham that this wasn't as bad - all I want to do now is get fit again as soon as I can."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

Drogba confirms Blues departure

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
