33 year old England international Ashley Cole has been frozen out of first team action and is unlikely to be handed a new contract in the summer and as such the former Arsenal man is apparently likely to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, if not even earlier.
Mourinho is still relatively unsure about the Chelsea future’s of first team duo Juan Mata and David Luiz, both of whom have spent spells warming the bench this term though have been selected in recent fixtures.
Spanish playmaker Mata is sure to have plenty of suitors if indeed he is made available for sale in January and Chelsea fans will be loathed to see the former Valencia man leave and could well be surprised by the limited role the 25 year old has had this term given that in the previous two campaigns the assist making goal scoring machine has finished as the club’s Player of the Year.
Luiz has started just half a dozen Premier League fixtures and has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona.
