Mourinho considers cup final options
Football News 24/7
Jose Mourinho claims Chelsea´s injury problems are so bad he will consider picking goalkeeper Hilario as a substitute striker for the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Mourinho could have just 15 senior players fit for the clash against Manchester United at the new Wembley Stadium, with Mikel John Obi expected to miss the showpiece after limping off against Everton on Sunday. Ashley Cole is facing a race against time to be fit, meaning Mourinho could have goalkeepers Hilario and Carlo Cudicini on the bench.
"If Ashley is ready we have 15 players for the final," said boss Mourinho on Chelsea TV. "I will have to choose between Hilario because he is not bad playing forward, or I´ll bring one of the kids to make 16."
