Jose Mourinho expecting quiet window

Jose Mourinho says that Chelsea will not be active in the winter transfer window amid speculation of incomings and outgoings at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reiterated that he will neither buy nor sell any players this month, amid intense speculation over incomings and outgoings.

Mourinho has been linked with swoops for Fiorentina ace Juan Cuadrado and Shakhtar Donetsk's Douglas Costa in recent days.

In contrast, both Andre Schurrle and Mohamad Salah have been touted for moves away from Stamford Bridge in search of first-team opportunities, but the Portuguese plans to keep his squad intact.

"Salah is selected [against Bradford]. Schurrle is the same, he's selected," he told reporters. "I like them, I need them and I trust them.

"I can only play 11 players. Salah is not playing a lot, Schurrle slightly more, but they have played for us in every competition. I count on them.

"Our desire is to keep the same squad. We are happy with the players and the work we did in the summer to prepare for the season."

The Blues sit top of the Premier League table with a five-point cushion over second-placed Manchester City, and remain in contention over four trophies this season.
