Champions League: Chelsea v Manchester United - The Final Build Up

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole suffered an injury scare in training at the Luzhniki Stadium ahead of Wednesday's Champions League final.

The England left-back hurt his ankle after a strong challenge from Claude Makelele and went off for treatment.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has a selection dilemma ahead of the showdown in Moscow. With all his key men fit, he must discard six of his 24-man squad before then deciding on his starting line-up.

Cole stayed down for a long time after the heavy tackle from the France midfielder. He was then helped off the field by Chelsea staff, although did then begin running again to try and overcome the problem.

A statement on the club website said: "He was treated, it was tested, then strapped - but after consultation between Grant and the physios, Cole resumed and took full part in the final training game."

Ricardo Carvalho, John Terry and Didier Drogba are all expected to be fit.

Captain Terry dislocated his elbow on the final day of the Premier League season, but seems to have made a stunning recovery to play. Fellow defender Carvalho, who won the trophy with Porto in 2004, has overcome a back injury and influential striker Drogba looks to have shaken off a knee problem.

Michael Essien is likely to remain at right-back ahead of Paolo Ferreira or Juliano Belletti, while Makelele is set to take the holding role in midfield ahead of John Mikel Obi, with Joe Cole on the right flank.

But boss Avram Grant must decide whether to pick Florent Malouda or Salomon Kalou on the left flank.

"I know 80 per cent of my team," said Grant.
