Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho explained why he completely dropped Fernando Torres from his squad for victory over Aston Villa.
Mourinho went with Demba Ba to lead his attack last night.
"Sometimes you can have two strikers on the bench but this game I needed a different balance on the bench because I may have to play Azpilicueta because he is very fast, maybe I need Mikel's experience, I needed options in wingers and I know Mata cannot play for 90 minutes at this moment. I try to give my three strikers time on the pitch and this time Fernando stayed out but Lukaku can say he is the only one that hasn't started a game."
