Ancelotti: Special night won’t distract Blues

JOSE MOURINHO’S return to Stamford Bridge will not be a distraction for Chelsea’s players, according to Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Mourinho will be back at his old stamping ground for the first since he was sacked by the club in September 2007 as Inter Milan meet the Blues in the Champions League. Inter have a 2-1 lead from the opening leg of the last-16 tie in the San Siro but Ancelotti is confident there will be no divided loyalties among a squad that was largely constructed by the self-appointed ‘Special One’.

“I’m sure they’re not distracted by his return,” said Ancelotti.
