Chelsea duo Diego Costa and Gary Cahill are both fit to face Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday.
Costa (hamstring) and Cahill (nose) were both doubts for the Wembley curtain-raiser but Mourinho has confirmed the pair are available.
Spain striker Costa limped off in Wednesday's friendly against Barcelona in Washington while Cahill took a blow to the face late on in the game to spark concerns over his availability at Wembley.
But Mourinho confirmed he had a fully fit squad available when he spoke in his pre-match press conference at Cobham on Friday.
'All good,' Mourinho said. 'There are no concerns, no protections (for Costa). We have three top strikers. I'm not worried. No problem.'
The Portuguese coach comes head-to-head with familiar foe Arsene Wenger at Wembley and despite the fixture's official billing as a friendly, Mourinho says he wants to win.
