Jose Mourinho says that John Terry is “a doubt” for Chelsea’s crucial clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Porto defender Miguel Layún has called upon his side to show courage when they travel to face Chelsea in their “all or nothing” final Champions League group stage fixture next month, as per Goal.
Mourinho said: “Every time I have a view I am in trouble, so I don’t have a view”. John is a special guy, with a special desire to recover.
But they are likely to also be without midfielder Ramires, who suffered a muscle injury the day before the game after training on Maccabi’s pitch.
“It was very important, especially with what happened in Porto”, added Mourinho, whose side ended a three-match Premier League losing streak with victory over Norwich at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Plus the warm-up before the game, the pitch was really bad.
“Everything is open for the last match and in this moment we are in a good position”.
“I reacted. He did too”.
He said: “I wanted him to do a certain movement that he didn’t”.
Mourinho, 52, has been under pressure for most of this season and recently said the chances of Chelsea retaining their Premier League title was now “mission impossible”.
That would leave Dynamo as the group winners, Chelsea in second and Porto heading to the Europa League.
“The Champions League was a huge experience for me and I expect us to play better next year”.
A man up, the visitors strolled through the second-half, although it took until the 77th minute for a second goal to come. With a draw, I don’t know. “I think we played better matches today, but we lost. He reacted too. At half-time in the dressing room a few kisses and a few cuddles”. But with two clean sheets recorded in back-to-back games, something that otherwise wouldn’t generate much fuss is now noteworthy.

The Maccabi pitch was cutting up terribly but it did not stop Chelsea dominate possession around their opponents’ box as Cesc Fabregas tried to dink the ball over the head of Predreg Rajkovic in goal.
