14th Jul 2010 - Latest News

Liverpool have today confirmed World Cup winning striker Fernando Torres faces up to three weeks on the sidelines after suffering an adductor injury in Sunday's final.

The Reds forward underwent a scan in Spain on Tuesday in which a small tear was diagnosed.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.tv on board Liverpool's flight to their training camp in Switzerland this afternoon, the club's new Head of Sports Science and Medicine Peter Brukner said: "The initial assessment was he had a mild adductor tear and the Spanish medial staff didn't consider it to be too serious at the time.

"He had an MRI scan yesterday which confirmed a small tear. He should be able to resume training within two to three weeks and be able to play again within three to four weeks."
