The Chelsea boss insists both players were assessed by the
Spanish team doctor before they withdrew from the Spain
squad prior to Saturday's game with West Brom
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit back at Sergio
Ramos and Vicente del Bosque over the injuries which kept
Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas out of the Spain squad.
Both Costa and Fabregas were ultimately declared unable to
play during the international break but were decisive for the
Blues in the 2-0 win over West Brom on Saturday.
Real Madrid defender Ramos was quoted as saying certain
players should show greater commitment to the international
cause last week, though he later insisted he was not talking
about the Chelsea duo.
And Mourinho has defended their decisions to withdraw,
stating that the Spain team doctor was always part of the
consultation process and suggesting Ramos has little place to
comment.
"Since I've known Sergio Ramos he has been a fantastic
football player, but he is not a doctor. He is not a doctor and
I am the same. I do my job the best I can but I am not a
doctor," he is quoted as saying by the Mirror.
"My doctor and the doctor of the Spanish national team, they
had the scans and they decided that the player was not in the
condition to play.
"I am nobody to go against it and I don't think Sergio did a
medicine Masters in the last couple of years to understand
about it.
"[Vincent] Kompany didn't play for Belgium against Wales and
he played today [Saturday]. Has he a compromise with his
national team? I think he has. He is the captain of Belgium.
"Did he, how do you say, 'cheat' by not playing against Wales
to play today? I don't think he did. So we all accept that he
was injured."
Mourinho took another swipe at Del Bosque in what is
becoming a persistent feud over the fitness of Costa and his
role in the Spain side.
"I trust my doctor 100 per cent. If Del Bosque doesn't trust
his doctor that is his problem, not my problem. I speak with
my doctor and I believe in what my doctor tells me. Nothing
else. No problem," he said.
"Fabregas was in a doubtful situation, Diego no. Diego
recovered totally from his problem with these two weeks that
he had to rest and to improve his injury.
"Fabregas is different. Fabregas survived. Diego no, Diego
now is in great condition.

Hmmmm!
