Liverpool worried over Torres’ fitness

London, Apr 13 (ANI): Liverpool is worried over the fitness of its ace striker Fernando Torres, who returned to Spain on Monday for a scan on his troublesome knee.
Liverpool bosses are growing increasingly worried that the injury will sideline him for the bulk of the run-in.
The club will come to know about the full extent of the problem on Tuesday, with Torres staying in his homeland this week for treatment, The Sun reports.
But a Kop source revealed: “Fernando was examined by a knee specialist in Spain this afternoon.”
“He had treatment and will continue to do so over the next few days, with the injury being reassessed later this week,” the source added.
Liverpool takes on Torres’ old club Atletico Madrid in next week’s Europa League semi-final but now face the prospect of having to pick and choose their fragile striker’s games. (ANI)
