Chelsea Chief agrees that Courtois can play for Athletico

Just as the Semi final draw was held in Switzerland, Chelsea Chief Executive Ron Gourlay spoke about goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois,
currently on loan at Atletico Madrid referring to UEFA statement released on Friday in response to media reports on the
situation.

'The loan was arranged at the start of the season and it
is quite simple, Courtois can play against Chelsea, that
was never in doubt,' said Gourlay.

'Regarding the UEFA statement, we will evaluate that
over the course of the next 24 or 48 hours and we will
comply with the rules, and he can play against Chelsea in
both games.'

Gourlay on the fixture agreed that it's not going to be easy but his side are prepared for the challenge having come this far.
