Jose Mourinho insists his Chelsea side still have time to turn their season around and could yet end the campaign with four trophies.

As he prepares his side for a Champions League Group G clash against Dynamo Kiev, the Portuguese coach appears to be doing his best to remain positive, despite his side's horrendous start to the season.

"My opinion is that we are not going to miss Champions League," Mourinho said, saying he expects a top four finish even though his side are currently 12th in the Premier League.

"We are in October. Everything is open. We can win all four, (but) we can lose all four. In this country it's very difficult."

Ahead of tonight's game in Ukraine, Mourinho declined to reveal if Eden Hazard will be restored to Chelsea's starting line-up having dropped his best player for the win over Aston Villa at the weekend.

Hazard has been told to up his workrate, but may start at the NSK Olimpiysky as Chelsea seek to respond from defeat at Porto in their most recent Champions League game.

"If he plays I don't tell you. The players don't know," Mourinho said.
