Former Chelsea star John Mikel Obi has revealed why Mohamed Salah struggled to settle at Stamford Bridge.

Mikel told Obi One Podcast: “They [Salah and De Bruyne] were so unlucky that the boss, Mourinho, then didn’t take any prisoners. If you weren’t doing your job, it didn’t matter who you were, he would have a go at you.

“He had a go at Mohamed Salah at half-time once and he was in tears crying. We thought ‘OK, he’s going to let him back on the pitch’ But then he destroyed the kid and then pulled him off.

“But that was just his mentality back then. But would Mourinho do that now? I think no.”
