Cole risks Mourinho's wrath over leaked smoking pics

Chelsea ace Ashley Cole has been reportedly snapped smoking a cigarette as he left his rented Los Angeles holiday pad with friends, which puts him in danger of risking the wrath of his new boss Jose Mourinho.

According to the Daily Star, Mourinho, who is known for expecting the best standards from his players, had axed Real Madrid player Fabio Coentrao last season after photos were published of him smoking at his 24th birthday party in the Spanish capital of Madrid.

The report further said that although LA club-goers have reported watching the Chelsea defender chain-smoking on nights out, but the new pictures show Cole smoking a cigarette in the middle of the day.

Stating that Cole has also been warned by some of his pals, a friend of the footballer said that Cole always smokes heavily during his annual summer holiday in the US city, adding that it was different at that time as Mourinho was not his boss then.
