Cesc Fabregas has taken to Twitter to proclaim his support for Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, refuting reports he is the leader of rumoured dressing room unrest.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hit out at any suggestion his players were not behind him after the Capital One Cup loss at Stoke and insisted he was in a “fantastic” situation.

“I had a big challenge all the time. It’s the worst results. I’ve never lost so many matches. That’s a fact.”

“Untouchables in football, only consistency can give you that status.”

"I think you will find FIFA on Friday saying their duty was to the player as their patient, the referee, the FA and actually their job in the club is to look after the players not to run the team."

“That does not mean that Sunday is for the rest of the season or their careers."

“I have regrets for not playing for the man and the coach because I know he would have made me a better player."

“The biggest thing for a manager is to respect other managers. Some people have to improve on that.”

“We have been chased since day one, since August. The others have good teams, have ambitions. They don’t let us enjoy an easy ride.”
