Torres will score, vows Carlo

19 April 2011 12:30
Carlo Ancelotti has boldly declared Fernando Torres will score for Chelsea before the end of the season. Torres has now gone 871 minutes without finding the net for club and country and bookmakers have begun taking bets on whether he will break his duck before the campaign is over. But manager Ancelotti has no doubt the Spain striker will begin repaying his £50million transfer fee in Chelsea's last six games of the season. "He will score," said Ancelotti, who refused to confirm whether the 27-year-old would start Wednesday night's Barclays Premier League match against Birmingham after being restricted to an eight-minute cameo at West Brom on Saturday. "He can score if he plays. "It's very difficult to change the team that played so well against West Brom, not just for the result, not just for the performance. They did very well against West Bromwich."
