Do you believe him....Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, has claimed they are “in trouble”, because of their increasing injury problems.
The Blues were without leading scorer Diego Costa against Manchester United last weekend and are still without Ramires and Loic Remy.
Mourinho is also worried about fatigue, as his team travel to place Shrewsbury in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.
“I have only one day, we travel to London and we are travelling to Shrewsbury. We are in trouble because we have so many injured players,” he said.
“It is even more difficult for us to go. We have to go. We now have a difficult match. Because they are doing very well in their league and doing very well against superior teams in the Capital One Cup. It’s a big day for them. We know it will be difficult for us. But that’s football.
“Every game is important. Shrewsbury is not a friendly. We have to play matches with respect and the best way to respect Shrewsbury is to go there with a good team. Not to go there with a weak team and lose. It is to go there with a good team –if they win, they win, but they win against a good team. We are in a difficult situation with regards to today but, when you look at the players who didn’t play – Schürrle, Salah, Zouma, Aké, Mikel – these boys are obviously going to have to play.”
Remy is out for two weeks with groin injury, while Didier Drogba might not feature, after playing 90 minutes on Sunday. Costa is however expected to be fit for this weekend’s derby against Queens Park Rangers.
