Chelsea and Jose Mourinho in high spirits ahead of Kiev clash
Tuesday 3 November 2015 11:25, UK
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and his players looked in high spirits as they trained ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev.
The players laughed and joked as they warmed up, and Mourinho was all smiles, despite the rising pressure on them.
The defending champions are languishing in 15th in the Premier League, having already suffered six defeats in their opening 11 domestic matches this season.
The Blues have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.
The 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday was the latest reverse, and on Sunday reports emerged that one of the players had said he would rather lose than win under Mourinho.
Cesc Fabregas then became the focus of media attention, but he issued a statement on Tuesday that there was any rift with Mourinho.
On Monday Mourinho was been given a one-match stadium ban after admitting an FA misconduct charge.
That came just hours after he learned he is facing an individual legal claim from former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro.
