Mutu to apologize
Adrian Mutu will today apologise for his outspoken attack on Jose Mourinho in a bid to salvage his Chelsea future.
The Romanian striker had a furious bust-up with Mourinho on is return to the club yesterday and a further meeting is planned for later today.
Mourinho is angry following Mutu's claims that he is in open conflict with the player.
But Mutu is now prepared to offer a full apology for his comments and hopes to rebuild his career at the club he joined for £17million last summer.
Mutu said: "It was never my intention to insult the manager and I deeply regret the situation.
"I apologise for the inconvenience caused to the club and the management but all I want to do is play. I want to play for Chelsea, given the chance.
"I feel that I am fit, at the top of my profession and want to contribute to the amazing story that is Chelsea Football Club.
"I am perhaps guilty of wanting to play too much sometimes, but the manager's decision is final and I accept that. The gaffer is the gaffer and that's it.
"I have a burning passion to play football but would never attack the manager.
"He has my full support and I just want to show what I can do on the pitch."
Mutu defied Mourinho by playing for 90 minutes in Romania's 1-0 defeat to Czech Republic on Saturday, despite suffering from a persistent knee injury.
The former Inter Milan striker is aware of the furore his actions have caused at Stamford Bridge and accepts that a £120,000 fine is the least he can hope for.
