Fernando Torres Set To Be Benched For Man Utd Clash

Reports are out claiming that Fernando Torres will be on the bench for Chelsea’s clash at Manchester United.

The Sun has reported that the former Liverpool striker has been on the fringes of boss Carlo Ancelotti’s plans this week as he tried out a 4-3-3 system using Didier Drogba as the main striker.

Drogba was played wide right against Spurs last weekend, with Torres down the middle, but the experiment didn’t work.

The Spanish international striker, who has scored only once since his £50million January move from Liverpool, had been left out of the previous three games, all of which Chelsea won.

Ancelotti Wants Fernando Torres To Score Against Birmingham City

Carlo Ancelotti insists has declared that he is not fazed by the current form trough of £50million striker Fernando Torres.

The Spanish international striker has failed to score since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Liverpool at the end of January and his plight has been well-documented.

However the Chelsea manager says that the form of one player is not his focus ahead of tomorrow night’s home clash with Birmingham City.

The former AC Milan boss told Sky Sports News : “I’m not worried about this,”.

“I hope tomorrow (he will score) but my thoughts right now are to put out the best team, to play good football and to win the game.

“He played nine minutes (against West Brom) and he showed character, I liked it. He scored but it was offside.

“He will score. He can score if he plays (against Birmingham). But it doesn’t matter if Fernando or another scores.”
