Andriy Shevchenko will lead the line for Ukraine against Scotland in next Wednesday’s Euro 2008 qualifying match [http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/euro/index.html] in Kiev: the striker has scored only once in the Premiership this season but he’s ready to put off the shade by the exploits of fellow striker Didier Drogba.

Alan Hansen, the former Scotland defender, criticised Shevchenko on Saturday night on BBC TV’s Match of the Day but Stamford Bridge manager Jose Mourinho, however, is not worried by his goal drought: “He just lacks the goal which will give him more confidence,”
said the Chelsea manager. “He played very well up front against Villa.”

“He is better physically, he already has the beating of his markers in one-on-ones and he shows great speed of movement.
The work he put in for the team when without the ball was very good.”
