Hiddink is so highly regarded by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich that the
Dutchman will have a fairly significant say in the futures of a number of players at the
club even though he is set to leave.

Hiddink has observed them at close quarters since his arrival in London and will make his personal recommendations at
the end of the season.

He added: ‘I can have an influence on what happens to these players and I can always
make suggestions to the people at the club who ultimately decide.

‘When players are committed, you don’t worry whether they are 31 or 32. In the longer-term strategy for the club, you must have plans for the future even when a player is doing well at 31.

‘You must have plans on what can be done, whether to replace a player in a year or
more.

‘If people ask me I will give my opinion, whether that is the staff, the medical people, the physios, the guys who practise with the team or the conditioning coaches.’

Guus Hiddink last night warned chelsea ageing team that they will be playing for their futures at the club in tomorrow’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.

Despite 31-year-old Didier Drogba’s return to form, there are no guarantees that the striker will remain at Stamford Bridge next season and he heads a list of players with question marks over their role at the club.

Michael Ballack, 32, is to discuss taking an option on a one-year contract extension this summer, but his future as a £130,000-a-week midfielder remains in doubt following three inconsistent seasons at the club.

Florent Malouda, 28, has also found some form in midfield just as the club consider their options for next season; 25-year-old defender Branislav Ivanovic, who has emerged in recent weeks, will also meet chief executive Peter Kenyon to discuss his future, and Ricardo Carvalho’s career at the club is also in jeopardy, the central defender celebrating his 31st birthday in 13 days’ time.

Interim manager Hiddink revealed: ‘There are many clubs where players start playing well in April and May because they know that maybe they want to stay.
