Torres named in Euro squad

29th Sep 2010 - Latest News

Fernando Torres is in line to make his first Europa League appearance of the season after being named in Liverpool's 20-man squad for the clash with Utrecht.

Torres has only played 45 minutes of European football for the Reds since scoring twice against Benfica in April, but could be given the chance to further step up his match fitness when Roy Hodgson's men take on their Dutch opponents on Thursday night.

Hodgson has named a strong squad for the Reds' second group game, with Steven Gerrard (rested) and Daniel Agger (groin injury) the only notable absentees from the travelling party.

The manager himself is travelling separately to the rest of the squad and will join up with the party when they arrive in Holland.

Liverpool squad: Reina, Jones, Johnson, Kelly, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Carragher, Shelvey, Poulsen, Lucas, Rodriguez, Spearing, Babel, Meireles, Jovanovic, Cole, Kuyt, Eccleston, Ngog, Torres.
