Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko is lukewarm on a the prospect of returning to Dynamo Kiev.

The Independent says the future of Shevchenko is once more in doubt after he played and scored for Ukraine in their 2-1 win over Uzbekistan on Wednesday but did not feature in the Chelsea squad that played Portsmouth at the weekend.

So far Dynamo Kiev are the only side to make a realistic offer for him - a season's loan - but the player is understood to have resisted it.
