Jose says, no way

If the decision to play David Beckham or not was up to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, he'd probably not play him at all. Mourinho said on Friday that he remembers other great players facing big matches at less than 100 percent.

"When I was a child I heard dozens of stories of Eusebio, who was injured but had to play a certain game because of the cachet of the match. Pele, too, was always involved in tense situations. But there is a limit - a pain limit and a consequence limit. If the consequence is that Beckham is one day with a swollen ankle, that is fine. But if the consequence is one or two weeks out, then no."
