Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is confident Fernando Torres will rediscover his best form.

Roy Hodgson is hoping his number nine can recover from an adductor strain in order to take his place in Sunday's Merseyside derby, and Reina insists the team has confidence that a return to winning ways is imminent.

"Fernando is one of the best strikers in the world," Reina told liverpoolfc.tv.

"As soon as he is fit once again, and he's working on that, he will be shining once again for us.

"The team is good enough to start winning games. It's a difficult situation but we have to stick together and work hard to turn it around."
