Chelsea's Jose Mourinho meets young Shrewsbury Town fan suffering from cancer

Mourinho meets ill Shrewsbury fan

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho decided to take some time out prior to his side's Capital One Cup tie to meet young Shrewsbury Town fan Lloyd Burton, who is suffering from cancer.

The Portuguese coach posed for photographs with the 11-year-old, who is now in a wheelchair following chemotherapy treatment after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in May last year.

The youngster painted a portrait of Mourinho, who signed the work of art before Chelsea's 2-1 victory over the League Two side at Greenhouse Meadow.

The piece will now be auctioned off to raise money for Lloyd, who met David Beckham earlier this year for Channel 4's recent Stand Up To Cancer show.
