Oscar insists no problems with former Chelsea boss Mourinho

Chelsea midfielder Oscar has made it clear that he had no issues with Jose Mourinho in the end.

The Portuguese tactician was sacked by the Blues in December but prior to his dismissal, frequently substituted Oscar during matches.

There were suggestions that Mourinho and Oscar had fallen out but the 24-year-old Brazilian insists there was nothing untoward between he and the Stamford Bridge great

"There were no problems between us," he told The Sun.

"I played well in the first game against Swansea and scored. I did get injured and was out for three or four weeks.

"When I got back the team was on quite a tricky run and losing a few games, confidence was low and the team were all struggling but we were trying very hard to recover.

"It was not just me who was being substituted. It was happening to lots of players."
