Jose Mourinho makes 9/11 terror attack jibe at Graeme Le Saux
 
JOSE MOURINHO has hit out at former Chelsea star Graeme Le Saux - who refused to play in Israel after 9/11.
 
 The ex-Blues defender refused to travel for the UEFA Cup clash with Hapoel Tel Aviv in October 2001.
 
 Fellow stars William Gallas, Marcel Desailly, Albert Ferrer, Emmanuel Pettit and Eidur Gudjohnsen all followed Le Saux by staying at home, just a month after the attack on the Twin Towers.
 
 It forced manager Claudio Ranieri to play a weakened side that fell to a 2-0 loss.
 
 Mourinho today said none of his players had refused to travel to Israel for tomorrow’s Champions League clash Maccabi Tel Aviv in Haifa.
 
 Le Saux, now a member of the FA’s Inclusion and Advisory Board, accused Mourinho of setting football back 30 years for his treatment of doctor Eva Carneiro, who left the club last month
 
 But Mourinho said: “The best way is to focus on football and the happiness you have to play football. Leave security questions to people who know more than we do.
 
 “I didn't have a single problem within the squad. I didn't have a Graeme le Saux.
 
 "I had everybody without fears, just wanting to come. I had even a player who, whose wife maybe is going to have a baby tomorrow or the next day but he's here, focusing on what he can do for us.”
