Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti today revealed he had yet to decide whether to start Fernando Torres in Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash against Liverpool.
Ancelotti confirmed his £50m signing was available against his former club but was considering introducing him from the bench.
A decision also needed to be made on new defender David Luiz, who was not expected back in London until tomorrow after returning to Portugal, while Alex (knee), Yury Zhirkov (calf) and Yossi Benayoun (Achilles) were still sidelined.
Team (from): Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Ivanovic, Luiz, Bruma, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, McEachran, Kalou, Malouda, Torres, Anelka, Drogba, Turnbull.
