Blues keep Mata in reserve

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS has warned Chelsea fans they may have to wait until after the international break to see Juan Mata in action for the club.

Wednesday night saw the Blues complete the signing of World Cup winner Mata, who is expected to add some much-needed creativity to their midfield.

Manager Villas-Boas has revealed the 23-year-old, for whom Chelsea reportedly paid Valencia around £24 million, is unlikely to start today’s Barclays Premier League game against Norwich, although he could well be on the bench.
