Speaking to the press before tomorrow’s trip to Sunderland, Jose Mourinho confirmed that Samuel Eto’o is back in training and has a chance of playing at the Stadium of Light.
The manager had originally ruled the Cameroonian out for two weeks after he was injured in last week’s defeat to Basel, but Mourinho said his recovery has been quicker than expected and he will make a decision after this afternoon’s training session.
In other injury news, Mourinho said that the Brazilian duo of Oscar and David Luiz will not be ready for the trip to the north-east.
We will have a full report on the manager’s pre-match press conference later today.
