England soccer star Ashley Cole received the backing of his club manager on Monday in the wake of reports that the Chelsea player had shot a work-placement student with an air rifle.

British police are investigating a claim by Sunday paper News of the World that Cole wounded 21-year-old Tom Cowan at the English Premier League champions' training ground the previous weekend.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, however, said that the 30-year-old would be selected for Tuesday's home clash with table-topping Manchester United.

"He always had very good behavior here. Now, we have to move on. Who didn't make a mistake in his life?" the Italian said in quotes reported by the UK Press Association.

I think that this news is very interesting because I like the chelsea team. This particular player is very nice, and I think that the team have to saty with him because it woud be a very huge lostt if he goes.
