The former Atletico Madrid striker has been out of action for three weeks, since he picked up a three match ban for stamping on Emre Can. “I will start him but I don’t think it’s good for a player to be three weeks or three matches without starting a game so I don’t think he’s in the best condition,” Mourinho told reporters at a press conference on Monday evening. “But at the same time Remy and Drogba played the last three matches and it was important for them to have minutes and confidence, and I know that I have them both ready now too.” Chelsea’s early exit from the FA Cup meant they had a free weekend ahead of the crunch clash, but Mourinho dismissed suggestions that being out of the FA Cup was a good thing for the Londoners as they aim for Cha...

(Daily Trust) 1. Alhaji Bamanga Tukur His disastrous tenure as PDP’s national chairman was the biggest game changer for the PDP from which it might never recover.
