Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is happy with the current form of striker Fernando Torres.

The Spaniard could be hit with a four-match ban following his dismissal during his side's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

However, Mourinho believes that Torres has drastically improved his fitness and is pleased with his recent displays.

"On television I used to watch matches of Fernando at Chelsea and it looked to me that he was a bit heavy, a little slow," Mourinho told reporters.

"Now he looks in fantastic shape. And I think he played a very good game against Spurs. He knows that I am very happy with his performance."

Torres picked up two yellow cards for twice clashing with Jan Vertonghen.
