Fernando Torres injury update

Liverpool’s Head of Sport Science and Medicine, Peter Brukner will be flying to Madrid to meet up with Fernando Torres to assess the damage. Fernando Torres, who is beginning an extended break, has undergo a scan yesterday.

Initial fears that he pulled up with a hamstring injury appear to have diminished and he is now believed to have suffered a groin injury which could be out for 3-8 weeks out depending on the severity.

   "It certainly looked like it might have been bad but it seems not too bad.

"We are optimistic it is not going to be too bad." Reds doctor told BBC Sport

He had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes when he had a hand in Andres Iniesta's winning goal, but moments later he was stretchered off with a left adductor injury after pulling up abruptly while chasing a through ball.

Chelsea are reported to open the bidding for Torres, in the region of £50million. This injury may have put the bidding in doubt for the moment. Liverpool FC has slapped a £70million price tag on Torres and Chelsea’s offer somehow fell short of Liverpool’s valuation.
