Jose Mourinho: 'Everyone keen to play against Southampton'

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.
