Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hinted he may give Claude Makelele´s understudy Lassana Diarra the chance to prove he is ready to take over from the master by including him in his starting line-up for Wednesday night´s Group G clash with rock-bottom Anderlecht in Brussels.Makelele is out for at least three weeks, although Mourinho refused to set a target for the France midfielder´s return from the knee injury he sustained in a collision with former Chelsea team-mate Scott Parker during their Barclays Premiership clash against Newcastle."Makelele will be out for two, maybe three weeks, I don´t know," said Mourinho. "I don´t like to press injured players or medical departments so let them work the best they can and recover as quickly as he can."
