Jose Mourinho: 'Thibaut Courtois to return to squad'

By , Senior Reporter
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reveals that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is in contention to return from a thumb injury against Swansea City.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is pushing for a recall against Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.

Courtois was absent from last week's 2-0 victory over Newcastle United because of a thumb injury, but Mourinho has indicated that he is considering handing a start to the Belgian stopper for the trip to the Liberty Stadium.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois should be fit tomorrow, he might not be 100% but how many players are through the season?

"I have the two best goalkeepers in the Premier League. I can decide with the keepers in the same way as I decide with the other players.

"My decision against Newcastle was a simple decision because a 100% fit Petr Cech is better than an 85% fit Thibaut Courtois."

Courtois has made 22 appearances in all competitions during his first campaign at Stamford Bridge.
