Roberto Di Matteo is not worried that Fernando Torres will regress to his Chelsea dark days following the striker's disappointing performance against Queens Park Rangers.

Sturridge offered a lively presence after being introduced and Di Matteo suggested the England international will get his chance in the upcoming games. "We've only played four in the league now," said Di Matteo, whose attention now shifts to Wednesday's Champions League clash with Juventus. "We're going to have seven games - including this - in 21 days. So there is time for everybody to play." He added of Sturridge: "He can maybe play more minutes, for sure. "As long as he keeps training well and, when he has the opportunities, shows his qualities, that's the way forward, and he will get chances to play as well."
