Chelsea have been accused of lacking adequate medical facilities at Stamford Bridge.The Blues this week complained about the length of time it took goalkeeper Petr Cech to be taken to hospital after he suffered a fractured skull in Saturday´s match at Reading. But London rivals Charlton believe the Barclays Premiership champions need to get their own house in order after being unsatisfied with how full-back Djimi Traore´s broken leg was dealt with at Stamford Bridge last month.Addicks medical chief Wayne Diesel told The Sun: "Immediately after Djimi Traore´s injury, I asked Chelsea´s medical staff if we could arrange an x-ray, thinking they might have the equipment. In fact, they use a local hospital - as do we. But when we enquired about taking Djimi there straight away, there was a problem. The police would not let the ambulance leave the ground."
