Chelsea players turn on manager
Chelsea players have reportedly had a heated clash with manager Andre Villas Boas in front of the club's owner, Roman Abramovich.
Owner Abramovich, arranged for talks with his manager and players following Chelsea's 2-0 defeat at Everton, and Vills Boas let rip at his players for underperforming.
The players however reportedly hit back at the Portuguese manager, telling him exactly what they thought of his training and tactics, which has now seemed to lead with friction within the playing group.
it seems that David Luiz, Ramires, Petr Cech and Jose Bosingwa are understood to be fully behind Villas Boas while some other high profile players like Frank Lampard are unhappy with the situation at the club.
Chelsea have also been dealt the blow that defender Ashley Cole could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up a calf injury, but skipper John Terry is in line to return for Saturday's FA Cup fifth-round tie with Birmingham.
With Chelsea currently in 5th spot in the Premier League, the Champions League clash with Napoli could either make or break the current managers position at the club.
