Jose Mourinho has publicly challenged William Gallas to explain why he has yet to play for Chelsea this season as the Blues coach continued his tough stance with the unhappy left-back. Gallas missed the clubs pre-season training camp in the United States but despite returning to full training, the defender has yet to figure for Chelsea.
The Frenchman was recently the subject of a bid from London rivals Arsenal, possibly as part of a deal which would pave the way for Ashley Cole to move in the other direction. But a move to the Emirates Stadium now looks increasingly unlikely as the transfer window deadline approaches and Mourinho has urged the player and his agent to organise a press conference and explain why he is not playing.
Asked what the latest position with Gallas was, Mourinho said: "The best thing to do is to ask him. People should talk to his agent and try to have a press conference with Gallas. "There are a lot of answers but answers he should be the one to give. It is not that I dont want to tell but I shouldnt be the one to say things that he should tell. This situation deserves a press conference with the player."
