Sturridge denies any rifts in Chelsea squad

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has rubbished claims that the squad has become undivided under Andre Villas-Boas.

A recent 'crisis' meeting at Stamford Bridge has suggested that things in the Blues camp are not all that rosy but ahead of tomorrow's Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Napoli, Sturridge has made it clear that everyone at the West London club are united.

"We are all together as one and we are not a divided unit," he told Chelsea TV.

"We are a family and we've got a good unit going here and I think maybe we will see that in the next few games.

"We are working hard in training and the standard has risen since the last couple of games," he added.

"We know what we have got to do and we are not losing sight of that."
