Chelsea boss Mourinho non-plussed by Shevchenko

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was unenthusiastic about Andriy Shevchenko's form after handing him a start against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

Chelsea begin their Champions League campaign against Rosenborg tonight with Shevchenko up front as Didier Drogba is still injured.

But Mourinho, who fell out with Roman Abramovich over his failure to play the Ukrainian, was unimpressed with Sheva against Blackburn on Saturday.

When asked his thoughts on the forward's form, Mourinho said: "I know what you want but you saw the same game I saw and you can write what you think."
