Di Matteo has faith in Torres

Interim manager Roberto Di Matteo is determined to stick by Fernando Torres as Chelsea battle to gain a top-four spot in the Premier League.

Torres has not scored for 25 matches, spanning five months, but Di Matteo, appointed interim coach at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas last weekend, was unequivocal in his support for the £50m striker.
