Liverpool Boss, Rafael Benitez, has confirmed that the hamstring injury of striker Fernando Torres is not as worse as it was first believed.
Spanish International’s hamstring was injured during a Champions League encounter against Marseille. It was believed that he’s going to be out of action for over 2 weeks.
Initially, it was rumored that 24-year-old striker might stay out of action for a longer duration after he visited a specialist in Spain.
This hamstring injury is the second one that Torres has picked up in the season. He picked up his first during an international game for Spain and his boss Benitez insisted that they wanted to sort this problem for good.
Rafa told the official website of the club, ‘Torres has been improving fast and I am hopeful that he’ll make a comeback sooner rather later.’
‘It is just the fact that we need to wait for the player rather than pressurize him. I spend the day with him today and found him doing okay.’
‘He is playing with immense confidence these days and your confidence can help you to get fit soon.’
‘Everything’s going great and I feel it’ll be about the moment that we predicted before, if not less.’
Speaking on the specialist Benitez said, ‘It was only for confirming our diagnosis. This injury was the recurrence of the one that he had before.’
‘We’re really happy, as now we know his problem and can find its solution. We’ll just require to work hard on keeping Torres fit and things will be okay.’
