Chelsea's Mourinho blasts Gallas: You've let everyone down

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has slammed AWOL defender William Gallas, accusing the Frenchman of letting down his teammates.

The 28-year-old defender failed to report for pre-season training in Los Angeles on Monday and was consequently told not to join the rest of the squad.
"It's not only me that is upset - we're all upset," said Mourinho. "Everybody is upset because we had a strong family and a strong group and this has shown a lack of respect to everybody and I don't like that."
Gallas has one year left on his current deal and he told the club in May that he wanted to leave rather than sign a new deal.
