Fernando Torres has visited a specialist in Spain in a bid to find a cure to his recurring hamstring problems, reports the Liverpool Echo. Liverpool's record signing flew to Barcelona for a consultation with one of the country's top muscle experts.

The 24-year-old is currently out of action having suffered his third hamstring injury of the season during Liverpool's 1-0 win over Marseille in the Champions League.

Torres twice suffered similar problems while playing for Spain last season and he pulled up injured in just the third league game of the current campaign at Aston Villa.
