Asked if the World Cup winner would be leaving before the transfer window closes, Mourinho said: “No. I want three strikers in the team and I can’t do the season without three." Mourinho went on to play down his decision to sideline Torres, as he insisted the former Liverpool ace will get opportunities this season. Explaining the hitman's omission, he said: “What can I say. We had 11 on the pitch, plus seven on the bench, plus five that are not selected. I decided to keep the same team [that played against Burnley] and wanted to have a bench with a good balance; two defenders, two midfielders and two attacking players. "Fernando was out but he worked fantastically well during the week and this is life in football. The important thing for me is he is a fantastic professional and, when I decide to play him, I know I’m going to have a positive answer." http://talksport.com/football/mourinho-says-torres-staying-chelsea-despite-being-axed-squad-140823109599#Re6cYtRsp8wrvX9j.99
