Chelsea optimistic over timescale for Torres return

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is now confident Fernando Torres will be available straight after the international break after suffering a thigh injury. Torres will miss the game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and Mourinho was initially doubtful about whether he will be fit again following the two-week break.

Mourinho said: "He is injured but recovering well, so we think normally - if things go in the right way - he should be in condition to be back."
