Defeat in the Champions League and his much-publicised marital problems don't seem to be bothering Ashley Cole, or Chelsea pal Michael Essien, as they share a joke in the stands at Stamford Bridge.
Cole, without a wedding band after his recent split from wife Cheryl, was pictured in the seats near the Blues bench on Tuesday night as the home side slumped to a 1-0 defeat against old manager Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.
Both the England left-back and Essien are out injured, and their absence cost a below-par Chelsea dearly as they crashed out of Europe in the last-16.
But the on-field problems of their team-mates clearly didn't stand in the way of a good joke as Ghana international Essien laughs and smiles as he and Cole exchanged pleasantries.
As well as his ongoing ankle injury, which will keep him out for at least another month, Cole has been pleading with his estranged wife not to divorce him before this summer's World Cup in South Africa.
And, in a bid to escape the intense media spotlight in England, the defender has also been linked with a move to Spain to join La Liga leaders Real Madrid ahead of next season.
