Ivanovic out for 3 weeks.

Ivanovic out for 3 weeks due to picking up a hamstring injury against Albania.

After having a shaky start to the season at right back, Ivanovic has injured his hamstring against Albania, ruling the Serbian out for at least 3 weeks.

Baba Rahman is expected to replace at right back, Rahman signed for Chelsea in the summer. The left back has only played once for The Champions in The Champions League against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Mourinho has stated why the left back hasn’t featured more this season.

“Because Baba Rahman arrived in the last day, because he doesn’t know what is is to play in this kind of championship.

“He had no pre-season with us. He needs time to learn, he needs time to adapt.

“If you don’t have a minimum of five tall players good in the air, you are dead in set-pieces.

“When I play Azpilicueta on the right and Baba Rahman on the left and I don’t play Ivanovic, I have only three, not ever four (players who are in the air).

“So we have to think about all the details. And I think about all the details.
