Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has quipped that a 'little injury' might deprive Liverpool of its in-form striker Luis Suarez for Sunday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
Suarez has scored 19 goals in 13 Premier League games this season as compared to Chelsea's three main strikers Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba, who have scored only five times between them.
According to Sport24, Mourinho said that he hopes the Uruguayan, who was suspended for 10 matches for his dental attack on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in Anfield, gets a 'little injury' so that he would not be available to play in the clash of the third and fourth-placed clubs.
The Portuguese meanwhile, praised Eto'o, despite him missing two clear chances to net his third Premier League goal of the season, the report added.
