Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports of a training ground bust-up between himself and Danny Rose, who was left out of the squad for Saturday's draw at Watford.

"I don't know what you mean by tension in the air, I don't have a problem with him," he said.

"On the Thursday before Watford late evening I got a call from my medical staff saying that Danny was calling them with a problem in his back and he wouldn't train the next day.

"Friday it was a bit of a surprise to see him training, but even so I decided to play with (Japhet) Tanganga and have Ryan (Sessegnon) on the bench. That is the situation."
