Chelsea FC: Jose Mourinho Hits Back At Sergio Ramos For Questioning Costa And Fabregas Absence From NT, Says 'He is Not A Doctor'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hits back at Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, after the latter questioned the absence of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas in the recent international break.

The Blues duo have started the Premier League game that preceded the break, which may have led to have Ramos suspicion that the west London outfit were just resting their key men despite physio reports that they were not fit to play.

Mourinho questioned his former charge's authority to make such inquiries since he is not a doctor.

"Since I've known Sergio Ramos he has been a fantastic football player, but he is not a doctor," said the Portuguese.

"He is not a doctor and I am the same. I do my job the best I can but I am not a doctor."

"My doctor and the doctor of the Spanish national team, they had the scans and they decided that the player was not in the condition to play."

"I am nobody to go against it and I don't think Sergio did a medicine Masters in the last couple of years to understand about it."

He also took a dig at Vicente del Bosque, who has also doubted reports made even by the national team's medical staff.

"I trust my doctor 100 per cent. If Del Bosque doesn't trust his doctor that is his problem not my problem. I speak with my doctor and I believe in what my doctor tells me. Nothing else. No problem," he continued.

"Fabregas was in a doubtful situation, Diego no. Diego recovered totally from his problem with these two weeks that he had to rest and to improve his injury."

"Fabregas is different. Fabregas survived. Diego no, Diego now is in great condition."
