Hiddink fumes over tough schedule

Guus Hiddink has attacked the decision to schedule Chelsea's FA Cup quarterfinal meeting with Everton three days after the club's Champions League showdown against Paris Saint Germain.

Blues' interim manager Hiddink fears the demands being placed on his players are too high and believes it is time medical professionals had an influence on the fixture list.

Hiddink was speaking after his side's 2-1 victory at Southampton, a game in which Spanish winger Pedro limped off with a hamstring injury that could rule him out of the decisive second-leg clash with PSG at Stamford Bridge on March 9.
