There are indications of simmering tension between the Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, and some of his players, The Guardian reports.

This comes on the heels of alleged discontent from some players over the scapegoating mentality of coach Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho has in recent times slammed numerous club players in public following poor displays.
There was also speculation of an on-going rift between him and the captain of the side, John Terry, who has been relegated to the bench.

It is believed that some of Chelsea’s big stars are discontent with playing bit parts, similar to John Terry’s rare playing time.
Mourinho even launched a scathing public attack on his players, threatening to drop them all in favour of Chelsea’s kids if they continue to underperform, and following a lacklustre performance in a 2-2 draw at Newcastle last weekend, Mourinho decided to take a high risk when Chelsea made the trip to play Porto on Tuesday, September 29.

Mourinho opted against including the likes of Oscar, Hazard and Matic in the starting line-up to face Porto in midweek at the Estádio do Dragão, in a move which left many perplexed.
The risk, however, failed to pay off as Chelsea went down 2-1 to their hosts.
It is believed Mourinho, 52, is on the hot seat at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho made excuses for his players’ performance in Tuesday’s Champions League 2-1 loss to his former club, FC Porto.
But he had harsh words for his players after they escaped their fourth defeat of the season at Newcastle with a late comeback to secure a 2-2 draw.
According to the Portuguese, his team’s first half display at St James’ Park was one of the worst he has ever witnessed as a coach.
He however has admitted that Chelsa’s current run is the worst he has experienced since he became a manager.
He said: “I define it as the worst period in my career, with the worst results in my career,” Mourinho said.
“I take it as a fantastic experience, but I don’t want to repeat it, I want to finish it tomorrow and start winning matches again. I think it comes too late, to come after 15 years is too late.
“It should happen after two, three or four but it is something that is helping me to be better. Not the hardest challenge, no, just the worst results.”
