Chelsea have denied rumours of a January transfer move away from Stamford Bridge for striker Demba Ba. The forward has been linked with a host of teams including Premier League rivals Arsenal.
However, an injury to Fernando Torres means that Demba Ba will be required for first team action this season. Torres will miss around a month through injury.
"Now we lose Fernando for a few weeks with something in his lateral ligament [in his knee] and that is why we have Demba in the squad," said Mourinho.
"We decided not to open the door to him [for Demba Ba to leave] because he is a good player and we need him. The next few weeks is all about Demba and Samuel and I hope they do well for us."
