2057: Cole has not moved since the incident and is surrounded by medical staff. A stretcher has been called and Wayne Bridge strips off his tracksuit and prepares to replace him. Cole looks in a lot of pain as he is placed on the stretcher and carried off. He receives a huge round of applause from the crowd.

2055: This looks bad for Chelsea and England as Ashley Cole goes down in a heap after catching his left foot in the Stamford Bridge turf as he chases the ball towards the touchline. There were no Blackburn players anywhere near him...


Not looking too good. I dunno if i ever heard of anybody getting injured by the turf before.

looked a strange one alright ...his leg jarred completely in the turf, and jolted back on his hip.
not sure if it's serious, ...may just look worse than it actually is.

I just hope Cheryl won't turf him out for this.

...as he chases the ball towards the touchline. There were no Blackburn players anywhere near him...

..it reminded me of a similar incident in Ashelys career when he was again moving along nicely and all of a sudden he nearly swerved completely off the road ...he may have been talking to his agent during the match.

[Rebelred]

looks like ligament damage, could be out for a while... but at least he'll have more time to count the money

It remeinded me of Michael Owen's injury in that there was no challenge and he just keeled over.

Its serious allright....medics waved a wad of money at him and he did'nt respond to stimuli.

Cole suffers knee ligament damage

Cole suffered the injury in the victory over Blackburn
Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has suffered knee ligament damage - but skipper John Terry is expected to return from injury on Saturday.

Cole damaged his posterior cruciate ligament when landing awkwardly during the win over Blackburn on Wednesday.

But the club say he does not need surgery and the 26-year-old is expected to play again this season.

Generally speaking, I can't think of a player I'd be "happy" to see injured but he stretches my sense of basic human decency.

I think it was him landing Cheryl Tweedy pushed me over the edge.

I join my fellow comrades in wishing him the most sincerest and speedy of recoveries

Absolutely. And the timing of this injury, just as the transfer window closed, is most unfortunate.

I think we should offer to loan them John O'Shea to see them through this difficult time.

[STEVIEG]

Cue, moral highground by some no-nothing who supports no-one:)

Nah, i have to agree, i hate to see anyone injured but if i had to pick one.......

I'm glad it's not too serious though cause he'll be a big loss to Engerlund too

Oh Ashely.

What have you done?

PRETTY blonde Aimee Walton told last night of her “wild” sex romp with Ashley Cole — then admitted: “It was a big mistake, I feel so sorry for Cheryl.”

Aimee, 22, revealed the Chelsea and England defender cheated on pop star wife Cheryl after a night out drinking with pals.

In revelations that shatter Cole’s image as a happily married man who rarely drinks, mum-of-one Aimee told how he:

CHATTED up girls as he downed vodka cocktails;

SLAPPED her bottom so hard his platinum wedding ring left a mark;

VOMITED in a girl’s car — then said she should feel “privileged”;

MADE absurd claims that Girls Aloud singer Cheryl “didn’t mind” him cheating as long as he kept it secret, and

INTERRUPTED their sex session to be sick again.

Aimee said: “He’s wild — really rude in bed. He knew exactly what he was doing and was pretty good, despite not being very big.

'Rude' ... Chelsea's Ashley Cole

“But it was a big mistake and I regret it. I feel so sorry for Cheryl. I’d drunk too much and went along with what he wanted. Now I feel really guilty. She should know what he’s really like.”

Drinking

The sex session took place at a posh flat belonging to one of Cole’s pals in the Princess Park Manor complex in Friern Barnet, North London.

It is the same complex where Cole met and lived with Cheryl, 24, before their fairytale marriage in the summer of 2006.

Cole’s fall from grace — which is likely to sicken wife Cheryl and infuriate his Chelsea boss Avram Grant — came a few hours after the Blues beat Sunderland 2-0 on December 8.

He went out drinking with pals, who were planning to watch boxer Ricky Hatton’s world title fight on TV later that night.

Aimee and a friend were drinking at the CC club in Piccadilly, central London, when a pal of Cole’s asked them if they wanted to join the star in the VIP lounge.

Chelsea fan Aimee said: “Ashley was already drunk and couldn’t keep his eyes off me, but he wouldn’t come and chat.

“He was wearing jeans, a grey T-shirt and he kept putting on a baseball cap.

“I was wearing a short black dress with white stars on.

“I knew who he was but have never been that impressed with footballers — we were just enjoying the free drinks. But at the end of the night one of Ashley’s mates just came up to me and said, ‘Ashley wants you to go home with him’.

“He said he’d get a car but my friend was driving so we offered to give him a ride.” Swaying Cole was eager to say yes.

Aimee, from Morden, South London, went on: “As we were walking out of the club I asked Ashley about Cheryl but he clammed up.

“I remember thinking I was going home with a married man and that his wife was one of the most famous singers in the country.

“I asked him if he would get in trouble with Cheryl and he just said, absurdly, ‘She knows what I do. I just can’t get found out’.

“I was really shocked by that — it showed he couldn’t care less about breaking his marriage vows.

“He just kept saying to me, ‘Please don’t tell anyone, I’ll get in so much trouble’. Then he started apologising for what he was about to do.

“He slapped my backside so hard his wedding ring left an imprint. He tried to hold my hand but I could feel the ring and felt so bad I pushed it away.”

Disturbed

Cole then joined Aimee in the back seat of her pal’s Vauxhall Astra while his friend CJ sat in the passenger seat. Two of Cole’s other friends got a separate cab back to the flat.

Aimee — who has a 19-month-old son — said: “During the ride he was slurring his words and was a right mess. Then he just threw up everywhere.

“My friend was going mad but he just smiled and said to me, ‘She should be privileged Ashley Cole was sick in her car.’ His T-shirt was covered in sick and he took it off. I remember being really disturbed by how violently ill he was.”

Once at the flat, Cole’s pals Johnny, CJ and a third man continued drinking downstairs, waiting for the early morning Hatton fight — while the England star led Aimee to a bedroom.

She said: “When you walk into the flat there’s a staircase straight ahead of you and a toilet on the right.

“Ashley said he needed a drink and we went to the toilet to get some tissue to wipe sick off his arm.

“He then tried to find the kitchen but wandered into what looked like an entertainment room.

“He then got a glass of water from the kitchen and asked me to take him up to bed.

“There was a tiny landing at the top of the stairs with a bedroom on the right and another on the left — he took me into the one on the right. He begged me to tuck him into bed.

“I was a bit drunk and knew he was married and felt bad because I knew what was going to happen.

“I went to the toilet and when I returned he was sitting in his boxer shorts on the bed.

Jumped

“For a footballer, I didn’t think he was in great shape. His legs weren’t that big and he wasn’t completely toned up top.

“He asked me to lie down next to him and before long his hands were all over me.

“We started having sex but it wasn’t long before he said he felt sick again.

“Then he just rolled over and vomited on the floor, all over the cream carpet. It was disgusting.”

But Cole was not going to let that stop him scoring. Aimee said: “He had some mouthwash, then jumped back into bed.

Posh ... flats where Cole romped with blonde

“We started having sex again but his mates piled into the room.

“After they left we finally managed to get going again and tried several positions.

“Eventually he finished and collapsed on to my chest. He was panting and clearly had a good time.”

Aimee got up at 7.30am while Cole was asleep, and got a lift home with her pal.

Cole’s booze-fuelled romp with Aimee is the first time he has been caught cheating on Cheryl, who has enjoyed a string of top ten hits since Girls Aloud first burst on to the music scene back in 2002.

The footballer and his bride were paid a staggering £1.5million by OK! magazine for the rights to cover their glamorous wedding.

Cole and Cheryl were labelled the new Posh and Becks because of their huge marketing power. The couple posed in cringeworthy white outfits to promote the National Lottery, while Cole was paid an estimated £500,000 advance for his autobiography.

Cheryl has frequently spoken publicly of her love for her husband.

Last October she said: “We are really, really happy. We spend every minute together.

Apologise

“He’s not into showbiz parties or flashy restaurants, he just likes staying home with me. He’s just an amazing, genuine man. I really want a baby and so does Ashley.”

The England left back, who was training with Chelsea this week, has since contacted Aimee to apologise for his behaviour.

But last night Aimee said: “He wanted to go on the pull and he chose me. I just hope Cheryl can see him now for the man he is — a cheat and a liar.”
