Chelsea boss Mourinho said that the 21-year-old has been selected in the squad as the Blues continue to chase leaders Arsenal.

Salah, who moved from Basel last month, remained as an unused sub in Chelsea's vital 1-0 win at Manchester City last week.

In addition to Salah, Chelsea boast some high-profile attacking midfielders in Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian and Andre Schurrle.
