BLUES HOST A HERO
Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad hosted a special guest in the changing room before Sunday's defeat against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Lance Corporal Tom Neathway, 24, was at the game to meet his Chelsea heroes as part of the Help For Heroes campaign, after losing both legs and an arm while serving in Afghanistan.
Lc Cpl Neathway was injured in July this year when he was caught by a booby trap on a fighting patrol near Kajaki in the north of the province. He remained conscious throughout the subsequent evacuation, which killed the driver of his ambulance when it hit a mine.
Accompanying Tom at the game were his father Alan and sister Lauren, and he was delighted to be given the opportunity to get behind the scenes.

'I am a lifelong Chelsea fan. I've always enjoyed coming down to games and have tried to come to games as much as possible', he said.
'I met the players and had my picture taken, I can't pick out one favourite player because I like them all. Guys like JT and Frank Lampard have come down and been very supportive.'
