Carlo Ancelotti insists Chelsea never contemplated sacking Ashley Cole in the wake of revelations that he shot a work placement student.<\/p>\n
The Blues full-back has faced internal punishment for his actions after hitting a 21-year-old with a pellet fired from an air rifle at the club’s Cobham training ground.<\/p>\n
Cole will, however, remain part of the first-team set-up at Stamford Bridge and is set to figure for Chelsea in their crunch clash with Manchester United on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti maintains that he has handled the situation in the best possible manner, with there no need to crack down hard on those who have made an honest mistake.
Behaviour<\/p>\n
He said in the Daily Star: “It was an accident. What do we have to do now? Kill him? No. We have to support him.<\/p>\n
“There was never any chance of him being sacked. Ashley made a mistake.<\/p>\n
“I have spoken with him and he was really disappointed with this. He’s always put in very good behaviour here. He made a mistake and he knows this.<\/p>\n
“Now we have to move. When a player says, ‘Sorry, I made a mistake’, it’s difficult to do otherwise.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
