Torres will have fitness test ahead of Merseyside derby

Fernando Torres will have a late fitness test as he battles to be fit for the Merseyside derby on Sunday. The Liverpool striker is still struggling with a groin problem which has ruled him out of the last three games.

Torres is continuing to receive treatment on the problem and is training with the rest of the squad.

"We will check him tomorrow. He's training well, he's been with the physios and we'll check after the training session," said Reds boss Rafa Benitez.
