Marin out for Blues

Chelsea will be without Marko Marin for tonight's clash with Reading but Ramires is available again after missing out at Wigan.

New signing Marin is struggling with a hamstring injury that is likely to keep him on the sidelines until after the international break, but Roberto Di Matteo has an embarrassment of riches in midfield and will be able to cope. Ramires is back fit after missing the 2-0 win at Wigan on Sunday through illness and Di Matteo now has to decide whether to stick with a winning side or make changes. Eden Hazard looks certain to start after impressing at Wigan but Brazilian star Oscar is knocking on the door and will be hoping to get the nod after a brief cameo at the DW Stadium. Di Matteo aim to soon play Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata in the same side but whether that comes against Reading remains to be seen. "Good players can always play together," Di Matteo said. "That's what I've always believed, but we'll need time to work together and get to know each other a bit better. "The team setup for this game is something I need to think about."
