Your support makes all the difference.Jose Mourinho has told Chelsea he prefers to continue the club’s faltering season with his two remaining fit goalkeepers, Asmir Begovic and Jamal Blackman, in the absence of Thibaut Courtois.
The Chelsea manager has been linked with a move for Victor Valdes, the former Barcelona goalkeeper who is out of favour at Manchester United, but there is no Chelsea interest as things stand.
