Andre Schurrle: Out Saturday

Schurrle will not play in Saturday's Premier League match against Cardiff City after picking up a small injury while on international duty, ESPN FC reports. Manager Jose Mourinho said "it's the kind of problem that happens a lot in World Cup years, which is a player with a little problem who wants to play in the national team and comes back injured to the club."

Schurrle was just starting to get some relatively consistent time for Chelsea in a crowded midfield. He could still be available for Tuesday's Champions League match against Schalke or next Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester City.
