Chelsea boss Mourinho sets his roles for Luiz, Ivanovic

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed positional changes for two senior defenders.

His tactical plans include restoring David Luiz to central defence and using Branislav Ivanovic mainly at right back.

"For me, Luiz is a central defender," said Mourinho. "He can help the team playing in another position but he's a central defender, no doubt about it.

"I know Ivanovic is very comfortable in the centre but I see him and Cesar Azpilicueta as our two right backs. Our defensive group will be good."
