Chelsea interim manager Rafa Benitez has revealed that Fernando Torres was suffering from a stomach bug during his side's Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea City on Wednesday.
Torres lasted 81 minutes of the 2-0 home loss before being replaced by new signing, Demba Ba, and was widely criticised for a below-par display.
However, Benitez has revealed that the Spaniard was in fact suffering from a stomach bug and suggested that his performance was impressive considering the circumstances.
