Chelsea manager Andre
Villas-Boas has confirmed the club are looking into an interview by Fernando
Torres in which the benched striker appeared to criticise his own team-mates.

Torres, who has scored just one goal
since his £50 million transfer from Liverpool in January, spoke to the official
website of Spain's Primera Liga and appeared to hint at a lack of service from
Chelsea's "older" and "very slow" players in an English
translation that later appeared on his personal website.
Villas-Boas sought an explanation from
Torres, who claimed his words were not translated accurately on his own
website.
Chelsea are now seeking to obtain a copy
of the interview in its original Spanish and Villas-Boas revealed he would warn
Torres not to speak so candidly about the club in future if the translation did
stand up.
