Fernando Torres is being quizzed by Chelsea over an interview in which he appeared to criticise his own team-mates.
He spoke to La Liga's official website last week, with an English translation later appearing on the striker's personal website.
Torres, who has endured a miserable run in front of goal since his £50million move from Liverpool, was quoted as branding Chelsea's 'older' players as 'very slow', and hailing new team-mate Juan Mata as a necessary signing.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas sought an explanation from Torres, who claimed his words were not translated accurately on his own website.
Chelsea were seeking to obtain a copy of the interview in its original Spanish and Villas-Boas revealed he would warn Torres not to speak so candidly about the club in future if the translation did stand up.
He said: 'We are going in-depth to regain the tape of that interview. We'll see if things play exactly as they are in that interview.' - DM
