Arjen Robben has been named in Chelsea's squad for this weekend's crunch clash with Liverpool.

The Dutch international has been sidelined since injuring his calf in the warm-up to last month's defeat at Middlesbrough.

It had been hoped that Robben would only be out of action for a short time but the injury has taken longer than expected to heal and it is now more than three weeks since he picked up the injury.

A relieved Mourinho told the Blues' official website: "I think Robben played a very good game against Manchester City and, after that, we were waiting for more but the next game against Middlesbrough, he was injured in the warm-up.

"After that, I was four consecutive matches without him. I like to play with people wide so I need him back."
