Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge says that the Blues' dressing room is "100% behind" manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has said that the Blues' dressing room is "100% behind" manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Speculation about the Portusguese boss's future at Stamford Bridge has been rife following Chelsea's disappointing season so far.

The rumours have led to the 34-year-old to publicly doubt his future at the club.

A number of players are said to be unhappy with Villas-Boas's management, but Sturridge has now said that is not the case.

"The win against Bolton was huge for us," Sturridge told talkSPORT. "We've had a rocky patch and it's important that we bounce back from that.

"We're 100% behind the manager, the players are together as a unit and we're moving forward together. We're feeling confident."

Sturridge joined Chelsea in 2009 from Manchester City.
