Torres out for three weeks

September 1, 2008

The question of whether Liverpool could win without Gerrard or Torres was answered yesterday, as they played out an uneventful 0-0 draw with Aston Villa. Neither side really looked like taking the points, and Fernando Torres limped out after in the first half.

Torres has suffered a torn hamstring, and looks like being out for two to three weeks, which means he could miss Liverpool’s game with Manchester United on September 13th. He is expected to return for their opening Champions League game against Marseille on the 16th.

Torres has pulled out of Spain’s World Cup qualifiers.

A spokesman for the club stated:

A scan this afternoon has confirmed a hamstring tear in Fernando’s right leg.

He is expected to be out for between two and three weeks.

It’s bad news for Liverpool with Gerrard also out, but both players should be back in a few weeks after missing as few games as possible.

Torres scored 26 goals for Liverpool last season, and after losing Peter Crouch in the summer to Portsmouth his value to the team is unquestionable.
