Chelsea boss Mourinho confirms Torres injury blow

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hinted Fernando Torres faces a month out after twisting his knee during victory over Manchester United.

The Spain striker, who scored at Southampton and Hull earlier this month, came on as a late substitute for hat-trick hero Samuel Eto'o but did not last the distance due to a damage to his lateral knee ligament.

It means he faces "weeks" out, confirmed Mourinho.
