Just found this piece this morning, god I hope international don't f**k up our momentum! Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez faces a new club v country row - with his native Spain. Torres, 23, cannot take part in full training because of agonising pain in his right knee following a training ground collision while with Spain. He said: "I thought nothing of it at first but later it started aching. And when I took a shot I felt a sharp pain. "I've got a lot of pain but we'll see how it goes over the next few days." Spain's doctor Genaro Borras said: "Torres has bruising on the sciatic nerve in his right knee. "We'll go easy with him but it shouldn't be anything to worry about." Benitez is already at odds with England over the handling of his captain Steven Gerrard.
Phew! I got it off tribalfootball.com. Never listen to any of the transfer gossip on it 'cos its all tripe but its usually quick on breaking stories and this one had direct quotes from the man himself so had me a bit worried!
Jaysus Mal, almost spat out my coco pops when I say the headline for this post! Glad to hear he's alright, jez I hate internationals - can only hope and pray there won't be too much carnage done to our squad come this time next week.
