Chelsea striker Fernando Torres will be online for the upcoming game, "Blues" from London against Stoke City in the first round of the Premier League.

The Spaniard was removed earlier in the match of their national team against Italy with a slight concussion.

“We have to test him tomorrow and the next day. If he has no problem, he can play,” Blues boss Ancelotti stated.

“But I think he has no problem because he played the last game with Liverpool and played well.” Ancelotti added that he had no qualms about playing Torres alongside either Nicolas Anelka, who scored in the win against Sunderland, and Didier Drogba.

“I know very well that he is not a goalkeeper, he is not a defender, he is not a midfielder – he is a striker and he will play as a striker,” Italian Ancelotti continued.

“He doesn’t have a problem to play with Drogba or with another striker. Maybe we will have to play with two strikers together, but that’s not a problem. It doesn’t change a lot.

“Maybe with a diamond in midfield, our shape doesn’t change too much.”
