With Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech injured for the start of the season, former Middlesbrough man Ross Turnbull has a chance to try and impress his way into taking starts from de facto first-choice keeper Hilario. He did not do this against Friday's friendly against Ajax.

The score even at 1-1 after two early goals, Turnbull chased down a long, bouncing goal kick at the edge of his box. He slid past the ball in his attempt to corral it, allowing Siem de Jong to pick it away from his hands and flick a shot into the empty net. Ajax went on to beat a very young Chelsea side (yes, that is an excuse) 3-1, leaving Carlo Ancelotti to wonder if the horse placenta lady would be willing to move into Cech's house for a few days.
