Fernando Torres will be put through his paces on Monday
morning, ahead of a decision on whether he will be fit to face
former club Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on
Tuesday.
The Spaniard has not featured for Liverpool since picking up a
hamstring injury on international duty last month and missed an
emotional return to his former club a fortnight ago.
Reds chief Rafa Benitez has been pleased with the striker’s rate
of recovery and says he has a 70 percent chance of featuring
against Atletico.
"Fernando has been working really, really hard and doing good
work with the physios,” Benitez told the club’s official
website.
"He trained yesterday and will train again today and then we
will see. I would say he has a 70 percent chance of featuring in
the game.
"Atletico Madrid was his first club and now he is with Liverpool
- two big clubs with lots of fans who love him, so this is massive
for him."
