No new worries for Chelsea

Chelsea have no fresh injury concerns for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League game at Sunderland.

Fernando Torres would be unlikely to be involved were he to complete his move from Liverpool, as the squad departed for the north-east this afternoon.

Alex (knee), Yury Zhirkov (calf) and Yossi Benayoun (Achilles) remain sidelined, although all three are nearing a return.

Team (from): Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Bruma, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Ramires, Kalou, Essien, Lampard, Anelka, Sturridge, Drogba, Malouda, Turnbull, McEachran.
