Jose Mourinho: 'Everyone keen to play against Southampton'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reveals that "everybody wants to play" after the club's elimination from the Champions League in midweek.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he will have a fully-fit squad for the game against Southampton on Sunday afternoon.

Midfielder John Obi Mikel is a long-term absentee after knee surgery, but in the wake of their Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain, Mourinho has insisted that his players are keen to be involved on their return to domestic action at the weekend.

The 53-year-old is quoted by the club's official website as saying: "My daughter said to me after the game, maybe we will have a few injuries and I asked why.

"She said because we lost, because some people are sad and I told her I don't believe that. We have zero injuries. Everybody wants to play."

Chelsea can maintain a five-point gap between themselves and Manchester City should they beat the Saints at Stamford Bridge.
