Daniel Sturridge believes he will have no problem adjusting to life back at Chelsea when his loan spell at Bolton finishes at the end of the season.

The striker found opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge but has shone for Owen Coyle’s side since moving there in January.

Since his departure the Blues have added Fernando Torres to their ranks which further bolstered their already strong striking options, but the England Under-21 International is confident he will be in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans next season.

“When I do go back to Chelsea I’m not going to be worrying about anyone who is at the club,” he told the Bolton News.

“I really don’t think Torres coming in affects me. Didier Drogba and Nico Anelka are fantastic players too and I can’t wait to get back because I’ll be able to show everyone what I can do.

“Football is about being in competition with all of these great players and showing what you can do amongst them. I want to show Chelsea that I can play at this level week after week and I can handle it.”

Sturridge has admitted he likes playing for Owen Coyle and Bolton but revealed he had to force his way to the Reebok Stadium as Chelsea were unwilling to let him leave Stamford Bridge.

He added: “Bolton are giving me the opportunity and the stage to show what I can do and I’m loving playing under Owen Coyle.

“I was the one that initiated the loan because I wanted to play regularly but the club weren’t willing to let me go on loan. They said I wasn’t allowed to but I had to kind of force the issue.”
