Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti insists he has no concerns over reserve goalkeeper Hilario ahead of tomorrow's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

First-choice Petr Cech has been ruled out for up to four weeks with a calf injury sustained during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League defeat to Inter Milan in the San Siro. But the Italian is confident Hilario can successfully deputise for the Czech international.
