Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admits he feels the pressure when leaving big name players out of his line-up.

Villas-Boas has revealed the pressure he feels when decided to leave players out of his team, which could refer to the tough calls over the selection of £50million man Fernando Torres.

"I suffer most when everyone is available and I have to select the line-up after a week when everyone has given total commitment," he said.

"It is a basic part of the manager's job, but when you have to leave players out for the sake of the team, it is tough.

"Nothing you can say to them can convince them that they haven't done something wrong."
