Report: Chelsea Full-Back Ashley Cole Could Quit Football
Feb 28, 2010 2:04:00 AM
Chelsea defender Ashley Cole is pondering over whether or not he should continue playing football, according to The Mirror.
The Blues full-back has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in recent times, as it was previously revealed that he allegedly smuggled women in his hotel room while the team was on tour in USA.
Presently, the England international is crocked with a broken ankle, and could remain sidelined for the remainder of the season. Being unable to put in good performances on the pitch to do the talking, coupled with the player's marriage to popstar Cheryl Cole heading down a rocky road, it is believed that the Stamford Bridge defender is planning to call it quits.
However, sources close to the player reportedly believe the 29-year-old former Arsenal defender can be persuaded to continue plying his trade, and not bring his career to an untimely end.
Meanwhile, it is claimed that club owner Roman Abramovich and other top brass in the hierarchy of the London-based outfit have spoken to Cole and assured him that he remains wanted at the club, and will not be fined for his actions as had been reported.
