Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has expressed his 'excitement' in appearing at Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

It will be the first time that the former Liverpool frontman has competed at the iconic stadium at club level and the 28-year-old is eager for a return to the London ground in May.

"Wembley has so much history, English teams have a couple of chances every season to play there and it's massive," Torres told the club's official website.

"All the players want to play in those games, it's my fifth season in England but this is the first time I'm going there. It's very exciting because we have the chance to reach the final in a London derby, so it will be very nice to be there and to play, so I'm looking forward to it."

If the Blues can overcome Harry Redknapp's side they will play either Liverpool or Everton in the final.
