Torres unlikely to feature in Merseyside derby

Rafa Benitez has revealed Liverpool are likely to be without Fernando Torres for next week’s clash with Everton.

Torres has missed Liverpool’s last two games against Birmingham and Manchester City and will again be absent for the Reds’ crucial Champions League game in Debrecen.

“Torres had a plan of fitness that would take three weeks working with the physios,” Benitez said.

“You can see he is improving all the time, but I would say that he is still maybe 10 days away from being right.

“The next few days will decide whether he will be fit for Everton, but at this moment there are no guarantees.”
