Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has explained why he left out Ghana defender Baba Rahman from his Chelsea side that faces Arsenal on Saturday in the Ebglish Premier League at the Stamford Bridge.

The for Ream Madrid boss insists that the Ghanaian is not ready for the Premiership hence his decision to leave him out of the side in the London derby.

"Baba is a fantastic player but not yet cut for the premiership. Champions league is different. He did not have preseason with us" Mourinho said.

The Black Stars defender was surprisingly left out of the side which invited a lot of comments from Chelsea faithfuls but the manager believes that the Ghanaian will be used at the right time.

Baba was very instrumental in the side's 4-0 drubbling of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the EUFA Champions League but the Chelsea manager insists the champions league is different from the premiership.
