Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is keeping his fingers crossed that Florent Malouda is fit for Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

The 31-year-old sparked injury fears after picking up a hamstring problem during the Blues' 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the club's final Premier League game of the season.

"We took him off - precautionary - with a little problem with his hamstring," said Di Matteo. "Hopefully he'll recover as soon as possible."

The former West Bromwich Albion coach is also sweating on the fitness of defensive duo Gary Cahill and David Luiz.
