Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has major concerns over Fernando Torres' hamstring problems.

Torres is out for over two weeks after suffering a tear to his right hamstring on Wednesday night, his third injury while on duty with Spain in less than a year.

The Spanish striker's frequent hamstring problems are becoming an increasing worry for Benitez, says The Times.

Torres was out for just over a fortnight last month after suffering a tear during the Premier League game away to Aston Villa on August 31 and the Liverpool manager will be eager not to exacerbate the problem by rushing the player back too soon, as has happened in the past.
