When asked about the England international, the Chelsea boss said:
“No, he still has to train. He has to play against Roma. He played 45 mins against Real, maybe he plays 60 against Roma.
“He is in the England squad so it will be good if he plays a part against Scotland. He is getting ready but his pre-season has seen him train for a week and then stop for two weeks.
“He is coming back again, we are calm. We have to be calm. We know the stages of recovery. His first minutes of pre-season have been against Real Madrid.”
Luiz and Mata also remain a source of concern for Mourinho, but stated that they will have to make do with what they have.
“They are important players,” he said. “The team with David Luiz and Mata is a better team. But again this is not a problem, we don’t risk players in pre-season.
“Mata had a little thing, we didn’t take a risk. David had an injury from before the Europa League final and he still has little things with it, so we stop.”
