Andriy Shevchenko is set to start tomorrow's Champions League group match against Schalke 04.
The Ukranine hitman is currently out of favour for Premiership matches but expects to line up alongside wantaway Didier Drogba in a match Chelsea must win.
Sheva, 31, scored Chelsea's lone goal in the 1-1 draw at home to Rosenborg and now is seeking to become Europe's greatest marksman.
Quite what Roman Abramovich makes of sheva's absence from the league side as Avril Grant continues Jose Mourinho's policy of keeping the striker out of the team, is anyone's guess?
Actually it's not easy to imagine what he thinks.
Grant has until January to produce the free-flowing football that Roman apparently wants.
Roman of course wants the Champions League title this season too.
If there are no signs of the football Roman wants then expect Ten Cate to take over and Avril to be booted back upstairs to director of football, which hasn't yet being filled - strange that, eh?
