Chelsea losing 24 hours to Dynamo Kyiv - Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is frustrated that his side will have lost 24 hours to Dynamo Kyiv by the time they take them on this week.

The Blues meet the Ukrainian club in Kyiv in the Champions League on Tuesday and Mourinho admits it is annoying that his players get a while day less to prepare for the fixture after they beat Aston Villa on Saturday, where as the home side were able to play on Friday night.

"In this moment we are losing 24 hours to Dynamo, like we did against Porto," he told the club's official website.

"Porto played Friday, Dynamo played Friday. We played in Newcastle on Saturday [prior to Porto]; we played again on Saturday.

"We are losing 24 hours. We have to try to recover that with other ingredients and the ingredients will be the same - fantastic spirit. Let's start from that point."

Chelsea sit third on the Group G table with three points from two matches having lost their most recent European outing 2-1 to Porto late last month.
