Cesc Fabregas says his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho remains good even if he and teammates Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are the Chelsea players most often on the end of criticism from their boss.

Chelsea's awful start to the Premier League season has seen Mourinho come under increasing pressure, with reports of issues between the Portuguese coach and many members of the Stamford Bridge dressing room.

Mourinho has often publicly singled out individuals for criticism after poor performances, and Fabregas and Hazard have both been left out of the team on a regular basis through recent weeks.
