Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he used Fernando Torres's hair clippers to shave his own head.

The Portuguese coach admitted that he cut his hair himself at the Blues' Cobham training ground, but insisted that he had to get approval from his wife Matilde before heading home.

"I sent a picture before I arrived to see if I could go in," Mourinho said in a press conference. "I did it myself.

"I asked Fernando to give me his machine and I did it myself in front of the mirror.

"It is nice and it is cheap. In a couple of months I will have hair again. Some people can't do it."

The Premier League club are preparing for tonight's Champions League clash against Basel.
