Cole suffers ankle injury ahead of Champions League final

MOSCOW, May 20 (Reuters) - Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole had his ankle strapped after suffering an injury in training on the eve of the Champions League final against Manchester United.

Cole went down under a sliding challenge from French team mate Claude Makelele during a game of one-touch football and immediately called for assistance.

The England defender hobbled off the pitch and had fresh strapping put on the ankle before rejoining the training session, grimacing, several minutes later.
