Fernando Torres will see a specialist on Monday to assess the knee injury which kept him out of the 0-0 draw with Fulham.
Rafa Benitez told reporters: "He has a problem with his knee. He's gone to see a specialist and we are waiting for news.
"We don't know yet. It depends on what the specialist says tomorrow. He had a problem before and we were trying to protect him."

I hope he doesn't go to the world cup

for two seasons gerrard and torres have been hotter than hot up front, so as a manager he doesn't want to break that up and as a player you are thinking 'I'm not joining liverpool to sit on the bench'. on top of that throw in our sell to buy policy
cisse - sold to make money
baros - sold to make money
bellemy - sold to get money
crouch - sold because he wanted games
voronin - shit
keane - shit
this season gerrard has lost his shooting bootsand torres is a sick note that all adds up to disaster.

Fuck me, this can't be true.
He'll miss the AM tie once again. Feel really sorry for him, but hopefully it's all just bollox.

Well it's clearly happening Art, let's just hope it is not too serious.

not so sure, I would like to think that if he has a good world cup and wins it he will realise how much playing at liverpool has improved him and hopefully he will be even more committed to us (call me naive if you want...)

I'd rather he just didn't go
I want the lad to have a boss WC then get beaten in the final by England. He loves this club & he deserves our support & to e recognised at the highest level as the best striker in world football.
He's not had a summer off for 3 years
I know that, but this is the World Cup and he's the best striker in the world. He deservesit and it deserves him. He has also earned te right to play there and have our support in doing so, he acts like the ideal Liverpool player, let's afford him the respect he's earned by supporting him.

x2 - in a worse case scenario a great world cup will add around 20m to his value...

I'd rather he didn't go. I'm not spanish so I couldn't care less what happens to spain. no (proper) holiday in 3 years can't be good

Obviously I hope he does well if he goes, I'd just rather he didn't.
spain reach the latter stages we will get back all the players late, again. that's what fucked up our preseason preperations last time.
No one is begrudging him it. If he goes I wish him all the best. I prefer the Carragher option.
And yet Benitez gets shit for being robotic?
Fuck rest and avoiding injury. I'm a football fan and I want to watch our players on the international stage. We're all going to watch England in the summer and the fact that we've got one or two players in there makes the fact that the rest are from Chelsea and Utd somewhat tolerable. And at the same time, it raises the profile of the club.

I'm a Liverpool fan. Aside from the odd moment from Barcelona etc, football is largely wank in my opinion, full of ponces and dickheads who I despise.
Maybe it's due to Liverpool being poor that I've lost interest, but I really don't care about anyone else anymore other than Liverpool. I'll watch the world cup probably, but with very little interest whatsoever on the outcome.

Of course, that's why I hope he does well when he gets picked for the world cup. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he didn't though.

Do you not take any pride in Liverpool players doing well?
In some small way, it still helps the club.
[/quote]
Except when they come back exhausted and have to be nursed through the start of the season so they don't break down entirely. I'd be pleased (in a small way) for Torres if Spain won the World Cup but not at all unhappy on his behalf if he was injured and missed it. Except of course, if he missed the WC and he felt, having missed a chance to play in such an event, that he really couldn't afford to miss out on CL football also and decided to leave.

Our season's over anyway, I hope he's fit for the World Cup. He deserves to go and I would want him to just for his own personal gain. It'd kill him if he didn't get to go. He'd be 30 by the time of the next one with his best years behind him.
I wouldn't want our Nando unhappy.
Gutted for him if he's out of the Atletico game, though.

He went on to play 85 mins against Benfica though Ryan. Didn't see Rafa 'protecting' him that night.

Something was obviously bothering him though Dave, cos he wasn't at full throttle in either game, and I haven't read anything about him getting injured at training in the last few days.
