Jose Mourinho stormed out of his Chelsea press conference this evening having been unimpressed on the media's line of questioning on Kevin de Bruyne's absence.

The Blues boss claimed reporters were more interested in those who aren't playing for his side than whose who are.

Chelsea are in Romania for tomorrow night's Champions League tie with Steaua Bucharest.

But Mourinho wasn't happy when asked why De Bruyne had been left at home.

"This is fantastic because no one asks me about [Juan] Mata. You have spoken about Mata for three weeks. Now you're asking about Kevin," he snapped.

"You are impressed in the players who are not playing. He was not selected. It was my decision. Only 11 can play and I tried to decide, by what they do on the pitch when they play and in training..."

He added: "With Kevin I didn't like the match he played against Swindon, and I didn't like the way he was training. But you only ask about the guys who were not selected. Thank you."

The Chelsea boss then stormed out.

The Blues will also be without Eden Hazard for tomorrow's match after the Belgian suffered an ankle injury against Tottenham at the weekend.
