Mourinho in no rush to trim Chelsea squad

Jose Mourinho is not overly concerned by Chelsea's start to the season and says the arrival of Pedro does not necessarily mean a player will be sold.

Jose Mourinho: Not overly concerned by Chelsea's poor start

The Premier League champions play at West Brom on today seeking a first win of the season after opening with a 2-2 draw at home to Swansea and a 3-0 loss at title rivals Manchester City.
"Do we have to improve? Obviously. Always," Mourinho said.
"We are calm, not happy, but calm. We need that. We need to be unhappy because that feeling makes you work better, better than ever when the results are not good and to be calm is very, very important too."

Chelsea signed left-back Baba Rahman and forward Pedro this week, the latter after the Blues moved swiftly to swoop ahead of Manchester United.

Mourinho has previously spoken of working with a squad of 22 senior players - two in every position and Pedro's arrival inflated the first-team group to 23 men. But the Portuguese insisted that does not necessarily mean any players will be leaving prior to the September 1 closure of the transfer window.

It's not a compulsory thing. I can perfectly have one more player than is normal for us, Mourinho said. "One more option for me is not a problem. You have injuries, you have suspensions, different competitions to play.
