Sturridge not losing patience with wide role - Chelsea's AVB

Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge is not angered with being used as a wide attacker according to manager Andre Villas-Boas.

The 22-year old continues to be deployed out wide by the Portuguese and there have been reports that he is unhappy with his current role but Villas-Boas tends to disagree.

"It's not true that Daniel is under any kind of discomfort," he said.

"If he was, we'd have to address it.

"Daniel can be used as a striker, but the players who compete for that position are Fernando, Didier and (Romelu) Lukaku."
