Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari insists Wednesday's Champions League opponents CFR Cluj are not a mystery to him.

The Romanian side are taking part in the group stages of Europe's premier club competition for the first time in their history after securing their domestic league title last term.

Cluj caused one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history when they beat AS Roma two weeks ago in Italy, but Scolari is adamant his side will not suffer a similar fate.

The Brazilian said: "I know about Cluj. I know more than you think.

"I know they have 11 Portuguese people playing there, and I follow them. When I was with the Portugal national team, I heard news about Cluj every week.

"I have all the information I need about them. I have told my players what to expect."

Scolari will be able to call on the services of Salomon Kalou, who has recovered from the injury he picked up in the 2-0 win at Stoke City on Saturday.

However, injured trio Deco (upper thigh muscle tear), Ricardo Carvalho (knee) and Joe Cole (hip) all miss the trip to Romania.
