Chelsea have released two more of their Champions League-winning team, with José Bosingwa and Salomon Kalou told to find fresh employment. The west London club, who have already allowed Didier Drogba to leave, have chosen not to take up the option on Bosingwa while Kalou, who is at the end of his contract, has not been granted new terms.

Florent Malouda, Michael Essien and Paulo Ferreira, who each have one year remaining at Stamford Bridge, will be invited for new contract talks over the summer, although there is no guarantee that they will stay. Frank Lampard, the other player with 12 months to go, is expected to agree a new deal.
