Chelsea boss Mourinho delivers Zouma injury update after collision

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says Kurt Zouma is "fine" after being stretchered off during their Capital One Cup win over Derby County.

The defender was forced off due to a collision with Petr Cech.

Mourinho reported: "He is fine. We don't think he needs hospital treatment. He was a bit dizzy and he had some blood in his mouth because of a cut. He has gone for some exams with the docs. He'll be available for Monday.

"I thought the collision was a punch, but it was with Petr's head - his helmet! The players were with the body language that there was some trouble but I had no idea what the trouble was because of the distance. I had some information the people with the stretchers are not allowed to run and I trust that."
