The Anfield boss was reacting to suggestions Spain would like their star striker to have an operation now rather than risk a further breakdown that could affect his chances of playing in the World Cup finals.
Torres has played two full matches since his return from extensive treatment but along with skipper Steven Gerrard, has not looked at his best.
But the striker is expected to lead the attack again against Wolves on Boxing Day with Benitez hoping Gerrard and Torres will soon find their true form.
And the Reds boss has again refuted claims Torres will need an operation.
Benitez said: 'An operation is not in our minds, I was surprised to hear such suggestions from Spain because we have a good working relationship with their medical team.
'We will continue to manage Torres' problem and assess him on a game-to-game basis.'
