Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was happy with his side's 1-1 draw against Porto in the UEFA Champions League given the exceptional circumstances which faced his side. Chelsea skipper John Terry was limped off the pitch five minutes into the first-half due to ankle ligament damage. As a result, Terry will miss Chelsea's Carling Cup final against Arsenal on Sunday. "I am so cool about it because I am used to it," Mourinho was quoted as saying by Chelsea official website. "Every day I lose a player. This season we are doing a great job to be in the position we are in all the competitions."
Mourinho brought in Dutch winger Arjen Robben for the injured skipper and he made an immediate impact, setting up Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko as Chelsea equalized. But he was also injured and had to be replaced at half-time to widen the English champions' injury crisis. "My original change when Terry got injured was John Obi Mikel. But because we then conceded a goal, I decided to go with Robben." "He went directly to the pitch because we were playing with ten men already for a long time, and we had conceded with ten men." Chelsea are clear favorites to progress to the Champions League last eight when they host Porto on the sixth of March at Stamford Bridge.
