Forssell warning over injury

Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has told Finnish striker Mikael Forssell he must take more time to recover from knee surgery or risk further injury.

Forssell has nearly completed his rehabilitation after the summer operation and has targeted a return before Christmas.

But Ranieri fears the 21-year-old could suffer further damage if he comes back too soon.

He said: "Mikael's like a bull and works hard, but I've told him to slow down. He can't work so hard."
