Chelsea deny Shevchenko reports Chelsea have denied reports that Andriy Shevchenko is ready to leave the club if manager Jose Mourinho decides he does not fit into his plans. The 30-year-old, who signed for £30.8m in May, was quoted as saying his "game doesn't suit Mourinho" and he is "ready to pack his bags" and go back to Italy.
But a Chelsea statement insisted the comments were misinterpreted from an interview in a Russian magazine.
The Ukraine striker has been linked with a return to AC Milan.
Mourinho, whose team host Arsenal in Sunday’s crunch clash, added: “Sheva is not untouchable because of the way he is playing. "Makelele , Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Terry, Carvalho, A Cole, Drogba are all untouchables.
I belief Mourinho is trying to motivate his players before the gunners match by saying they are untouchable... but it may actually work tho...
