Jose Mourinho's position on Andriy Shevchenko is still unclear, after days of back and forth about the Ukraine international's future.

The Chelsea manager did however clarified that he makes the line-up at Stamford Bridge, not Roman Abramovich.

Naming his "untouchables," Mourinho noted all four midfielders, three defenders - no right back, and one striker.

Most notably omitted were wingers Joe Cole and Arjen Robben

And of course Shevchenko was noted for his "touchable" status.

Casual observers of Chelsea would probably be able to recite the list of "untouchables" without much trouble.

The Untouchables: Claude Makelele, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole, and Didier Drogba.
