Steven Gerrard & Fernando Torres both back in training

[Bender]

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez today revealed that Fernando Torres as well as skipper Steven Gerrard have resumed light training at Anfield.

The duo are hoping to attain full fitness ahead of the Premier League clash against defending champions Manchester United.

According to Benitez they can take up to “ten to twelve days” before making their comeback to first team action.

Currently Torres is nursing a hamstring tear that he picked up against Aston Villa at the weekend while Gerrard is on the way to recovery from a groin operation.

'Both players are now back jogging and will be out for ten to twelve days," said Benitez.

"Gerrard might be back before Torres but you never know."

"injuries" were to stop them going on international duty

Fingers crossed they're BOTH back in time to give scum a mauling

Yeah and Torres faked the injury at Villa

[blacky]

IMO both players will play. Torres injury could well have been exagerated, probably a strain not a tear. Ferguson been pulling this stunt for years.

I'm not surprised that Torres is back in training, he has had a couple of these hamstring injuries were he has been back sooner than later

Brilliant news.

Excellant. Prime time in Oz. I for one will be well primed for it.

**** those Manc's, they are due.


Plenty.

Torres' injury looked more like a tweak/sprain than a tear...he walked down the tunnel with barely any discomfort, which would be difficult if the injury was as serious as a tear.

IMO as a non-doctor who has torn muscles before, along with ligaments. But never the hamstring.

**** yeah. I better reserve the spot and get the beers in early! I have a new Plasma TV but no Austar

I have to make more money for that!

Ofcouse it wasn't faked, otherwise he would have faked it after scoring into Villa.

It will be a close call, pleased to hear that they are both training. I have some faith again about this match

You live in Sydney don't you? You could always sell your arse, there'd be plenty of money to be made there
