And Mourinho admitted the hectic Christmas period has been difficult to deal with.
He said: “I don't want to speak about the connection between so many injuries in the Premier League and the calendar.
“But it's obvious that you look to some of our players and of course there is fatigue.
"But the squad is not big, some players are injured then we had also three players suspended in the middle match, which I call the Boxing Day, the middle match, in between Christmas and new year.

"Now we recover some players but we lose others. So of course there is fatigue but of course they are professionals, we have commitments and of course we don't want to say this match is not important, this competition is not important.
"So we have to go again. To Middlesbrough, are the kids going to be involved? Of course they are going to be involved.
“But they are not going to be involved to rest somebody; they are going to be involved because this is the moment. So that's it."
