Either It's Mikel, Torres Or Cech, One Has To Be Sold – Mourinho

Chelsea Manger Jose Mourinho has said that he has no choice but to let go of one of his foreign players as there is no way he could register all.

Super Eagles Mikel John Obi has been rumoured now for some time to be on his way out of the London club, and with the arrival of Ivorian marksman, Didier Drogba, making the amount of foreign stars in the club, 18, the manager has his hands tied.

Premier league clubs can only list 17 foreign players over the age of 21 in their official 25-man squads and Chelsea have 18 overseas stars. The UEFA Champions League laws also follow the same policy.

British Tabloid, Telegraph, says that Mourinho has made up his mind on three players, Fernando Torres, Peter Cech or Mikel, and one of them has to go.

Mourinho had earlier said: “From the group you are expecting us to have as a squad, I have to send one away because we have one extra foreign player.

“So from all these players, if you think all of them have to stay, you are wrong. One of them has to go.”

Mikel has represented Chelsea in over 200 league appearances, winning the Champions League title with them. He joined them in 2006 after initially agreeing to join Manchester United.
