Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has agreed with Didier Drogba that he "would like to play" with red-hot Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
Drogba admitted this week that he would like to form a deadly partnership with the Spanish international. Torres has been linked with a £70 million switch to either the Blues or Manchester City during the upcoming transfer window
Speaking to reporters, Ancelotti confirmed he agreed with the opinion of his current star centre-forward: "Me too, I would like to play with Torres, he's a very good player. But this is not an issue for today, he's a Liverpool player, a very good striker and we don't need another striker today."
Meanwhile, Ancelotti dispelled any rumours he would miss the World Cup, and Terry will also line-up against Portsmouth in Saturday's FA Cup final:
"John Terry had the problem with his foot, but trained on Friday with no problems so there will be no problem on Saturday."
The Premier League champions are red-hot favourites to complete their first ever double but Ancelotti warned they cannot underestimate the south-coast outfit.
Ancelotti said: "It could be the first time for Chelsea to win the Double, it's a great opportunity. But we have the final, we have to have respect for Portsmouth.
"Portsmouth played a very good semi final, they beat Tottenham and it will be a very tough game for us. If you don't prepare well it can be difficult."
