ETO Is Back!!!
Samuel Eto'o, on Monday returned to training after he suffered hamstring injury during a 6-0 victory over Arsenal.
Eto'o,
could be available for Chelsea's clash with Paris Saint-Germain,
although he remains a major doubt for the UEFA Champions League showdown
at Stamford Bridge.
However, Mourinho is keen to
have some added firepower at his disposal as the Blues look to overturn a
3-1 deficit from the first leg, and received a boost on the eve of
Tuesday's game as Eto'o came through a training session.
Mourinho had previously indicated over the weekend that he would be prepared to take a calculated gamble on Eto'o.
'Will
Eto'o be fit? Let's see. Let's see if he trains on Monday. Maybe he
could play but to risk a player you need to have minimum conditions to
take that risk," explained Mourinho.
"If you think
he's going to be out after 10 minutes of the game you can't take that
risk. If there is a minimum of risk, then yes.
"We
need to score goals. If we don't score a minimum of two goals we are
out. We know that, so if we can have everybody available who can give us
a chance to score goals then let's do that."

Mourinho
also has problems in midfield, with Ramires suspended and Nemanja Matic
ineligible, but he believes Chelsea can complete an 'almost impossible'
mission.
'Am I nervous about the match? No,' said
Mourinho. 'I'd have been nervous if we'd won 1-0 or 2-0 in Paris, but
losing 3-1 means I am not nervous. I want to enjoy the game, I want to
enjoy the fight, I want to enjoy the risk. So, no nerves.
"A big game, an almost impossible job - so let's go.
"What's
important is that they give everything, that they leave nothing on the
field. PSG as a club don't have the experience we do."
