Blues consider Torres gamble

CARLO ANCELOTTI has revealed he would consider gambling Chelsea’s entire season — and possibly his own future — on Fernando Torres in today’s Barclays Premier League game against West Ham.

Blues manager Ancelotti refused to rule out resting the red-hot Didier Drogba and recalling £50 million (€58m) flop Torres for the must-win game at Stamford Bridge.

That is despite seeing the same decision backfire spectacularly in last week’s Champions League defeat at Manchester United, a result which left Ancelotti all but resigned to losing his job.
