• Striker was injured in Carling Cup defeat at Blackburn
He will also be absent next month at the African Cup of Nations
Salomon Kalou has been ruled out for two weeks with a minor tear to his left thigh muscle. Chelsea have confirmed and the striker will miss further matches for his employers when he departs for the African Cup of Nations, which takes place next month in Angola.
The Ivorian suffered the injury in the 75th minute of last night's Carling Cup quarter-final exit at Blackburn Rovers.
He was forced to come off, leaving his team with 10 men for what remained of normal time and all of extra-time, as the manager, Carlo Ancelotti, had used all three of his substitutes at half-time. Chelsea lost on penalties, after a 3-3 draw.
