Chelsea striker Florent Malouda gave Chelsea another Champions League final injury scare as they warmed up for their clash with Bayern Munich by beating Blackburn 2-1."

Malouda was arguably the Blues player who started Sunday's last Barclays Premier League game of the season at Stamford Bridge with the best chance of breaking into their team at the Allianz Arena."

But he failed to complete the first half, giving caretaker manager Roberto Di Matteo another fitness fright as he pulls out all the stops to get David Luiz and Gary Cahill back in time."

Di Matteo, who rested virtually all of his likely Champions League final line-up on Sunday, said of Malouda: "We took him off - precautionary - with a little problem with his hamstring."

"Hopefully he'll recover as soon as possible."

The news was not so good on Luiz and Cahill, with Di Matteo admitting their fight to get over their hamstring injuries would "probably" continue right up to the day of the final."

He added: "They are getting better day by day."

"We're going to try to push them this week in training and see how far we can take them."
