Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will reportedly have surgery on his elbow.

The Portuguese coach is believed to be heading to hospital after overseeing his side secure a 3-1 victory over Manchester United yesterday.

After closing the gap at the top of the Premier League table to two points, it has emerged that Mourinho will have an operation on a fractured elbow this morning, according to Sky Sports News.

Reports have claimed that the surgery, which will be carried out in Paris, will focus on a bone that has come loose from an injury he previously suffered.

Mourinho was honoured at a Football Writers' Association Gala Tribute last night.
