Inter Milan boss Mourinho: Turnbull no weak point for Chelsea

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 03:18

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho doesn't expect rookie goalkeeper Ross Turnbull to be a weak spot for Chelsea tonight.

Turnbull will be between the posts in the absence of injured senior pair Petr Cech and Henrique Hilario.

"When I was Chelsea's manager, we played in the Champions League against Barcelona with our third-choice in goal," said Mourinho.

"Cech and Carlo Cudicini were injured, and Hilario made his debut against Barcelona. We beat them at Stamford Bridge and drew in Camp Nou.

"So I don't think it's a big problem, especially if we don't have a shot. It'll be no problem for sure, then.

"It's not the first time a team plays with the third goalkeeper. To be fair, I don't know the goalkeeper very, very well but, to be in Chelsea, he will play with quality."
