Cesar Azpilicueta's head is still attached to his body. That should be the breaking news ticker across every sports news channel today. The Chelsea full back took a right-foot volley to the chin as if his head was just sitting invitingly on a tee and, incredibly, he is still in tact. Crystal Palace welcomed the league champions to Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon and, straight from the off, poor Azpilicueta was given a frightening south London greeting when Frazier Campbell hammered straight through his head. If John Terry can do it, anyone can. 1 "So... I just put my head in the way?" 2 Fabregas arrives to oversee the punishment. 3 "Cesar are you ok- oh..." 4 Campbell connects with the ball but Azpilicueta's job isn't done yet. 5 Right on the chin.
