Fernando Torres joins up with Chelsea squad

Spanish striker Fernando Torres has linked up with his Chelsea teammates on their pre-season tour of the USA.

The 28-year-old was granted extended leave by manager Roberto Di Matteo following his run to final of Euro 2012 with Spain.

However, having taken part in a number of fitness sessions with coach Chris Jones back in England, the centre-forward has now joined the Blues, who have two matches of their tour remaining.

Tomorrow's match against a MLS X1 may come too soon for Torres, but he should be available to feature against AC Milan in Miami on Saturday evening.
