Jaaskelainen in shock recall at The Bridge
2:49pm Sunday 11th May 2008
JUSSI Jaaskelainan was pressed into an unexpected return to the Wanderers squad at Stamford Bridge on Super Sunday.
The Finland keeper, whose season appeared to be over when he suffered a back injury two months ago, was named as one of two substitute keepers as the Whites wrapped up their season against title-chasing Chelsea.
Ian Walker, who has been regular back-up for Ali Al-Habsi in Jaaskelainen's absence, complained of a stomach upset in the build-up to the game, so Gary Megson decided to err on the side of caution.
Wanderers went into the game knowing their Premiership status was all-but assured, barring a set of catastrophic results that could see them leap-frogged by Reading and Fulham, who were at Derby and Portsmouth respectively.
Ivan Campo failed a fitness test on a calf injury and missed out, but Joey O'Brien recovered from a hamstring injury to return in midfield at the expense of Danny Guthrie.
Alex was drafted in to replace the injured Carvalho at centre back for Chelsea.
Wanderers: Al-Habsi; Steinsson, Cahill, Andy O'Brien, Samuel; McCann; Diouf, Nolan, Joey O'Brien, Taylor, Davies. Subs: Stelios, Meite, Cohen, Walker, Jaaskelainen.
Chelsea: Cech; Essien, Terry, Alex Ashley Cole, Makelele, Ballack, Lampard; Joe Cole, Drogba, Malouda,. Subs: Cudicini, Shevchenko, Mikel, Kalou, Belletti.
Referee: Chris Foy (St Helens).
