Liverpool's Fernando Torres is set to feature in the Europa League clash with Trabzonspor on Thursday, reports Reds boss Roy Hodgson. "The Sports Science people are concerned that we don't rush him back too early and that we don't prejudice his fitness or situation with the injury he took with him to the World Cup," he said.
"We don't want to prejudice anything by throwing him into the fray too early, but he is very, very keen to get back in.
"I thought he handled himself well in the 15 minutes he played against Arsenal, so I am hoping he will play a part in tomorrow night's game (against Trabzonspor) and then be ready for Manchester City. "
