Gary Cahill eager for Chelsea response

Gary Cahill has urged Chelsea to react positively to their recent defeat against Newcastle United when they host Schalke 04 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Blues suffered a 2-0 loss against the Magpies last weekend in their Premier League encounter at St James' Park.

Despite that setback, Cahill is confident that the team can return to winning ways against the German outfit in Group E.

"We're all in it together," the defender told reporters. "The next best thing after a defeat is to go out and put things right, we need to move on.

"The lads are disappointed after the weekend but we're looking for a positive reaction tomorrow and I'm sure we'll get it."

Fernando Torres will miss the match for Chelsea after sitting out training on Tuesday with a muscle problem.
