LONDON -- Jose Mourinho says there is no prospect of Fernando Torres returning to Chelsea from his loan move to AC Milan.
It was agreed in the summer that Torres would play out the last two years of his Chelsea contract at Milan, but his poor form and high wages have already led to speculation that Milan will look to offload him.
When asked whether the Spaniard could return to Stamford Bridge, though, the Blues boss said: "No."
Pressed on whether it was true that Milan are seeking to end the deal, Mourinho said: "I don't know but he's on loan for two seasons at AC Milan."
Chelsea added Diego Costa, Didier Drogba and Loic Remy to his squad over the summer and Mourinho stressed that the club could not add any further players given restrictions over squad sizes.
"He's our player but he's on loan. We have no space for players in the list, either in the Champions League or Premier League. That's an impossible picture," he said.
"But I have to say, nobody from AC Milan made contact with us thinking about that possibility, so probably nothing is true and, more than possibly, he's happy at Milan and Milan to have him."
Mourinho also rejected talk of a January exit for Petr Cech, with the 32-year-old goalkeeper set to stand in for the injured Thibaut Courtois against Hull City on Saturday.
"I don't think it's possible," he said. "I read a couple of weeks ago his agent saying no chance of leaving Chelsea in January. That plus the fact that I have no info about any offer for him makes me believe 100 percent that he's staying. I repeat again: I'm so happy we have this fantastic situation with the goalkeepers."
