Hamann remains doubtful for Chelsea clash

Last updated : 09 May 2003 By Chris Maxwell
The German international is still suffering from a shin injury picked up against Manchester City and Gerard Houllier admits that the knock leaves Hamann a 'major doubt' for Sunday.

Houllier said: "Didi is a major doubt, I'm not going to fool anyone. He's facing a lot of treatment. He got a kick on his shin against Manchester City, he's having treatment and we'll just have to see how things develop over the next couple of days."

Czech star Vladimir Smicer has already been ruled out of the match after failing to recover from a calf injury.
