Ancelotti controversially axed Drogba for their goalless game against Fulham after the Ivory Coast striker and £50million man Torres failed to hit it off in the previous weekend's defeat to Liverpool.
But the Blues boss revealed he was already considering restoring the partnership for Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Everton."Maybe in the next game we will use both," he said, before explaining his reasons for leaving out Drogba yesterday.
"We wanted to have more control of the pitch in this game," he added.
Ancelotti's tactical switch failed to pay off, with Torres enduring another outing to forget eight days after his disappointing debut against former club Liverpool.
Despite once again substituting him, his new manager defended the most expensive player ever bought by a British club.
