ANDRE Villas-Boas says Daniel Sturridge is not entitled to play as a centre-forward at Chelsea.

Sturridge, injured playing for England in mid-week, is fit to face West Brom in the Premier League tomorrow.

But his boss says there will be no chance of him spearheading the attack.

“No not at all,” he said when asked if Sturridge could play centre forward. “Because we have three wonderful strikers, which are the ones that are entitled to that position.”

Sturridge has been playing on the right for Chelsea, with Didier Drogba , Fernando Torres and Romelu Lukaku the men chosen to play in the middle. Sturridge has long made it clear that be believes he can do a job for both club and country as striker.
