Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has challenged wantaway defender William Gallas to explain his decision to leave the reigning Premiership champions.
The 29-year-old has refused the offer of a new contract at Stamford Bridge and has failed to feature this season, with Gallas on the wanted list of Premiership rivals Arsenal.
However, Portuguese Mourinho would like to see Gallas explain his absence this term, saying: "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 don't want to tell, but I shouldn't be the one to say things that he should tell.
"This situation deserves a press conference with the player."
