Torr-ific news: Fernando is back on
Merseyside
This is the sight all Liverpool fans wanted to see as Fernando
Torres finally returned to training.
The striker's future at Anfield has been doubt all summer but he
was back at the club's Melwood training ground on Monday
morning.
Torres, who has been on an extended holiday after his World Cup
exploits with Spain in South Africa this summer, appeared relaxed
as he was gently put through his paces.
The Spaniard is still recovering from a groin injury he
sustained in the World Cup final against Holland but it will come
as a relief for Kop fans to see him back in training ahead of the
new Barclays Premier League season.
It was the first time new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson had his
full squad together with other World Cup finalists, Pepa Reina of
Spain and Dutch pair Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel, joining Torres back
at Melwood.

Liverpool begin their League campaign on August 15 and Hodgson
will be praying there are no late bids for his talisman from rivals
Chelsea and Manchester City as he prepares for the visit of Arsenal
at Anfield in just under a fortnight's time.
