LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at the Premier League schedule, saying his players have not had a chance to recover from their midweek Champions League match before playing Fulham on Saturday.

The Premier League leaders drew 1-1 with Galatasaray in Turkey on Wednesday but have not been able to train ahead of the west London derby against bottom club Fulham.
