Chelsea striker Fernando Torres says there is no need for him to be rested for the European champions’ trip to Champions League newcomers FC Nordsjaelland today.

The Spain international scored the opening goal as Chelsea won 2-1 at London rivals Arsenal on Saturday to galvanise their grip on top spot in the Premier League. With injuries having restricted Daniel Sturridge to just four substitute appearances this season and Didier Drogba having left the club in the summer, Torres has had to shoulder the goalscoring burden alone.
