Diego Costa, John Terry Among Chelsea Stars Reportedly Facing Jose Mourinho Axe

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is set to wield the axe when it comes to a host of high-profile stars, with Diego Costa and John Terry reportedly ready to be dropped by the Portuguese.

According to Neil Ashton of the Daily Mail and Adrian Kajumba of the Daily Mirror, Costa and Terry will both be left out of the Blues team for the Champions League clash against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday. In addition, Branislav Ivanovic and Nemanja Matic will also be cut.

“Yes, I will make a couple of changes because I have to try a different dynamic,” admitted Mourinho in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
