Mourinho happy to give Chelsea extended midweek break

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is happy to give his players several days off over the next week.

Chelsea's players do not report back until Thursday to start preparations for the game at home to Liverpool on Sunday.

Mourinho, aware of the strain of this campaign on a smallish squad, is planning to give them another four days off next week before they play at West Bromwich on Monday week.

Oscar will not play any part in the final three games. The Brazilian midfielder damaged a thigh muscle in training last week and will not take part in the Copa America in June.
