Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is ready to come to Jose Mourinho's aid and offer the Chelsea boss the use of one of his goalkeepers.

Chelsea are in the midst of a goalkeeping crisis after both Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini suffered head injuries in Saturday's Premiership win at Reading.

And Allardyce has told his Portuguese counterpart he would gladly loan him Ian Walker or Oman international Ali Al-Habsi.

A Bolton spokesman said: "Sam said yesterday we've got three world-class keepers in our ranks.

"He suggested in the last couple of weeks that if we can get these keepers out on loan, then that's something we will consider.

"He did say last night that if Jose or Chelsea come enquiring about them, we will certainly talk to them."
