Axe hanging over EIGHT Chelsea Cup flops

As many as EIGHT senior Chelsea stars are facing the axe. The Daily Express says after their FA Cup defeat to Bradford City, Blues boss Jose Mourinho could conduct a clear-out at Stamford Bridge, after hitting out at his fringe players.

"It is easy for people to understand now why I play almost every game with the same players," he said.

"But it is not because of this disappointment and this bad performance that I am going to change things."

Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle are poised to leave - Salah on loan to Roma and Schurrle to Wolfsburg for £23million.

But back-up men Didier Drogba, Ramires, Loic Remy, John Obi Mikel, Petr Cech and Kurt Zouma could also be fighting for their futures.
