Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that a muscular problem will keep goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of his side's match with Hull City.

The Belgian stopper has replaced Petr Cech as Mourinho's first choice this season, but the Portuguese coach has insisted that he has no concerns with handing the Czech his first Premier League start of the campaign.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "Courtois had a little problem in training, a muscular problem, and he's not available for tomorrow.

"Petr Cech had our confidence even when Courtois was playing. We know what we have, he has absolutely nothing to prove."

Cech has made five starts for Chelsea in other competitions since the middle of August.
