Chelsea will be without Ashley Cole for around three months after the England defender fractured his left ankle in yesterday’s 2-1 defeat by Everton.
The 29-year-old left back limped off in the second half after a challenge by Everton\'s Landon Donovan.
A scan today revealed the full extent of Cole\'s injury.
It leaves him with a fight to regain his fitness in time for this summer\'s World Cup, with England\'s first match against the United States on June 12.
