You Need To Believe - Mourinho

Chelsea FC’s second leg against Galatasaray AŞ will come down to fine margins according to José Mourinho, and Roberto Mancini is urging the visitors to “believe”.

Chelsea FC boss José Mourinho cut a relaxed figure ahead of his side’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 showdown with Galatasaray AŞ and the return of Didier Drogba.

After Cimbom came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw in the Istanbul opener, Mourinho envisages another closely-fought encounter at Stamford Bridge.

He reserved lavish praise for former Blues favourite Drogba and hailed Wesley Sneijder as one of the world’s finest No10s. As for Roberto Mancini – back in England for the first time since departing Manchester City FC in 2013 – he is not expecting miracles, but said “anything can happen if you believe in yourself.”

Galatasaray have not won in eight visits to English clubs, drawing three and losing five. Overall their record is W3 D8 L7.

Marco van Ginkel is back in training after six months out with knee ligament damage, suffered on 24 September. Ashley Cole (knee) and David Luiz (muscle strain) have missed the last two games.
Aydın Yılmaz (broken ankle), Gökhan Zan (hamstring) and Emre Çolak (knee) are all ruled out through injury.
