Close too tears

It seems our friend Joe Cole was subjected to a vicious beating, after a row over a page 3 girl. My heart goes out to little Joe.

Cole in clear over brawl

By Matt Hughes

JOE COLE is likely to escape disciplinary action from José Mourinho after reportedly being beaten up in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The Chelsea midfield player was said to be badly beaten at the southeast London home of Keeley Hazell, a glamour model, after a night out with John Terry to celebrate their side?s FA Cup third-round win over Huddersfield Town.

The England internationals, along with Anton Ferdinand and Bobby Zamora, the West Ham United players, celebrated in the Embassy club in the West End before Cole returned with others to a house in Grove Park, where the altercation took place. There is no suggestion that Cole was the instigator.

Mourinho takes a dim view of his players socialising until the early hours, but Cole should escape punishment as the manager had given his squad Sunday and Monday off. The 24-year-old returned to training yesterday with no discernible injuries and is expected to take his place in Chelsea?s squad to face Sunderland in the Barclays Premiership at the weekend.

Mourinho has banned his players from going out the night before a training session, but gives them more license during their days off.
