Mikel Will Play-- Mourinho

Chelsea FC manager, Jose Mourinho, has maintained that Nigeria's John
Mikel Obi will be part of his team for the 2014/2015 English Premier
League that started at the weekend.

Many Nigerians feared that the arrival of Cesc Fabregas and return
from injury of Dutch's youngster, Van Ginkel will end Mikel time at
Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho speaking with the official website of the club ahead of the
Burnley game noted that the importance of depth of squad in the modern
game can't be understated, particularly with European football to
navigate as well as domestic matters, and believes he has adequate
cover in all positions to challenge on four fronts this season.

'You play 60 matches a season and you cannot play with the same
players every time,' said the Blues boss. 'In the first three weeks
you have one match per week but after that the cups start, the
Champions League, internationals, so you have to rotate players.

'Everybody will have a chance, nobody will feel as though they are
first choice or second choice. For example, in midfield we have Mikel,
Matic, Ramires, Fabregas and Van Ginkel, so everybody will play and
will feel useful, important," he noted.
