Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou and Abdoulaye Meite were both in the Ivory Coast squad to face Germany in Wednesday’s international friendly (2-2 draw). Neither was available for Saturday’s World Cup qualifiying win over Guinea after the two went all hyphy on each other in training. The two have since made up (awww).

-David Hytner of the Guardian, following Ireland’s 1-1 draw (2-1 aggregate loss) to France on Wednesday.

Bosingwa ruled out for three months
Via the official Web site: “Chelsea Football Club can confirm that José Bosingwa underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this week. His recovery time will be approximately three months.”
