Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko made contact with AC Milan officials on Tuesday night.

Sheva's frosty relationship with Jose Mourinho has again come to a head over the groin injury which, to the Chelsea manager's annoyance, allowed the striker only one half in the draw against Bolton on Saturday and kept him out of the Champions League defeat at Anfield.


Reports say Shevchenko conveyed his distress to a group of Milan officials who sat yards from his position in the directors' box. Afterwards he told reporters that his withdrawal had been on medical advice.

"It has been very difficult time for me with injuries," he said. "I really wanted to be available to play this game but my injury didn't allow it. The decision was made on Sunday. The doctor spoke with the manager and the club."
