Chelsea reveal Ashley Cole has not traveled with the 21-man squad bound for Germany ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League game against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen.
But Abdre Schurrle, who picked up a muscle injury last week and missed Saturday’s 4-1 win over Cardiff City, was part of the squad which departed Gatwick on Monday.
Cole sustained a rib injury in Chelsea’s 3-1 win at Norwich and has missed both of England’s qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland, including Chelsea’s defeat of Cardiff at Stamford Bridge.
The pair trained on a wet Monday morning at Cobham, but Mourinho believes it is too early to thrust the England international into action and he has remained in London.
The good news is that, aside from Marco van Ginkel, the ‘Blues’ has no other injury worry.
At the other end, Schalke will be without their midfielder Marco Hoeger, who is out for the rest of the season because of a partial cruciate ligament tear in his right knee.
The Bundesliga club are already without striker Klaa-Jan Huntelaar, who underwent further knee surgery earlier on Monday and is not expected to return until after the winter break, and defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos. Midfielder Jeferson Farfan will also miss Tuesday’s tie.
There is a new ‘Fela’ in town and it is non other but Nigeria’s pop sensation, Burna Boy.

From humble beginnings in minna, niger state, where he was born to Jos, Plateau State, Chocolate City's wonder kid, Panshak Zamani popularly known as Ice Prince has grown to be one of the hottest and most respected rappers in the country.
Thanks to his victory at the 2009 Hennessey Artistry where he came tops. And while it may all look rosy on the outside, Ice Prince has revealed that it's not been easy after his dad passed away, adding that just like any street kid, he's had his own fair share of ups and downs, and so fans should not be carried away by the glitz and glamour which has become his trade mark today.
Though, born to upper middle class parents, the Oleku singer insists he was not born with a silver spoon, he and his siblings had all they desired until his dad died in 1999 and life took a dramatic turn!
"I wasn't born with a silver spoon," Ice Prince told The Entertainer's TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE in an exclusive chat backstage during the 8th edition of Julius Agwu's comedy show, Crack Ya Ribs held at Nicon Hilton, Abuja, recently.
Dressed in all white designer T-shirt and pants with a muffler dangling around his neck, Ice Prince peered at you from behind designer glasses crested with a fez cap which gave him that clean cut look of an American marine but for his goatee.
"My dad was not a billionaire, neither was he a pauper," he said arching his bushy eyebrows to drive home his point, "he sent us to good schools and we had vacations outside the country; we were okay but in 1999 I lost him!
"It was a big loss for me and my family. I was 13 and the eldest kid; I had a mum and two younger sisters to look out for and so I had to grow up overnight; thank God for family support."
Recounting the person of his late dad who was a soldier in the Nigerian Army, Ice Prince described him as a great source of inspiration and like every son would say, his father was a great dad. He said dad went the extra mile to make sure he and his siblings had all they wanted.
"He was a soldier," he states in his characteristic cool and calm voice, "he taught me everything I know today. My mum was very supportive but she died in 2011, so right now I am an orphan."
How does it feel losing both parents early in life? "It feels lonely! We were three kids; a boy and two girls and I am the eldest. I became the man of the house after my dad passed on and that has given me a sense of responsibility. It made me grow up overnight!
"I am 27 but my responsibilities are more than that of a 27-year-old. I have to take care of my sisters. I thank God for elevating me. I guess I was called to do this (music)."
According to Ice Prince, he would ever be grateful for the lessons he learnt from his parents, which have gone a long way in shaping him today. He says that while his dad taught him to be responsible right from an early age, his mum taught him to respect women.

According to the reports, a student of the University of Abuja tried to kill herself because of the effects of the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
Jane Okora sent her two younger brothers out of the house on an errand.
When one of the brothers returned just after 15 minutes, he found Jane lying on the floor with a rope tied around her neck.
The boy raised the alarm attracting people to the house. When the neighbors came to help they discovered that Jane was still alive.
Jane's mother said that all Jane was complaining about was how the ASUU strike was inconveniencing her as she felt that she should have finished with her studies already and begun to take care of her family but her life was put on hold because of the strike.
Attempts to speak with Jane turned unsuccessful, as she couldn't respond to questions. The only thing she kept murmuring was "It was a better option".

A British scientific expedition to a remote rainforest in Papua New Guinea has discovered a new species of giant rat.
The Bosavi woolly rat is the size of a small domestic cat, weighing about 1.5 kilograms and measuring 82 centimetres in length from its nose to its tail.
It was discovered in the crater formed by the extinct volcano, Mount Bosavi.
Experts say the rat is the same as those found in any city’s sewers, only bigger.
Gordon Buchanan set up the infra-red camera which provided the first images of the animal.
“This is the biggest true rat in the world – unbelievable,” he said.
“It’s actually so big it doesn’t look like a rat … it just is incredible. This is a really significant find for the expedition.”

A 16-year-old mother of two, Ebere Ogu, has allegedly stabbed his 35-year-old husband, Patrick, to death in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during a fight, and has fled with her children.
Detectives from the criminal Investigation Division of the state Police Command are presently looking for her. Vanguard gathered that the crime was committed last Thursday at their number 70 Ijapo extension residence in Akure at 5a.m. Chinedu, a native of ImoState was a staff of Owena River Basin Authority, Alagbaka in Akure.
A co-tenant, who gave his name as Kelechi, said: “Ebere and Patrick frequently engage in fights but on Thursday, October 17, at 5a.m., the couple began to fight.
“Most times they engage in such fights, I go there to settle it. But on this fateful morning, when I got into their room I saw Ebere holding a knife against her husband so I pleaded with her to drop the knife and pleaded with Patrick not to beat his wife.
“At the first attempt I succeeded in separating them. So Ebere dropped the knife. But as soon as Patrick saw that his wife had dropped the knife, he seized the opportunity to pounce on her and gave her another beating.
How He Died
“I told Patrick to stop, but I noticed that when he tried to move away he slumped and that was when I screamed for help and called other members of the house.
“When we entered the apartment we realised that Patrick was already on the floor. So people began to urge
Ebere to lift her husband up. She eventually did and we saw that the father of two was already bleeding.
“We were all shocked and most of the people took to their heels. Ebere escaped with her two kids to an unknown destination.”
Police image-maker, Wole Ogodo, confirmed the ugly incident.
Ogodo said: “One Mr. Tuyi, who is the landlord of the house the couple lived in, reported the incident to the Police Station on Thursday 17, at 6.45a.m.
Ogodo said that policemen are searching for the suspected killer, while the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at the Akure State Specialist Hospital morgue for autopsy.
