Ndombele is now back in training and will be fit to face Chelsea at the weekend and Mourinho was asked where he believes the Frenchman’s best position is.

“He’s a multi-functional midifeld player,” he told

football.london (***************. ”I’m not telling you the way we are going to play.********** “I’m not even telling you that we’re not going to change because when you get a more tactical culture and the players work more time with you, you are able to change in this moment.
