Torres to see Knee Specialist

[Bender]

Sky saying the DR he has seen has said he could be back playing in a week!

and injured the following week.......which is the regular pattern with torres at the moment

Sky saying the DR he has seen has said he could be back playing in a week!

Just heard the same on radio. Apparently the injury isn't serious and under 'normal' circumstances could be back next week.

Not as straight forward as that ................
The 26-year-old has undergone treatment from Dr Ramon Cugat in Spain after a knee problem kept him out of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Fulham.
The Reds play West Ham in the Premier League on Monday and Cugat said: "The problem's not serious but he needs to stop and rest to avoid more risk.
"But in normal circumstances, he could be ready to play next week."
Torres, who joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007, has been beset by various injuries this season.
He was sidelined for a month after a knee operation in January and before Christmas struggled with a groin injury.
Cugat, who supervised the striker's return from recent hamstring trouble, told the Liverpool Echo of the latest problem: "It depends how it settles down.
"The decision is now up to Liverpool's medical staff and the manager."

So basically Torres needs complete rest or he will be fooked for next season

Wise words indeed ...

Rest him for the league games, play him for the UEFA Cup.

Yes, but it is clearly not so simple.

The players could play twice a week no problem. That is clear. But take a look at horse racing. The horses could run twice a week too, but the times would gradually get slower and slower and the wouldn't be very successful at all. Horses only run once or twice a month.

I think there might be something to it considering all of these sport scientists and managers seem to have bought into this idea that to get the best out of high performance athletes you have to regulate and limit their energy expeniture.

I feel a bit sorry for him. He must feel under a fair bit of pressure from a lot of people to be available for Liverpool and then Spain but it'll do him no good in the long term.

That's kinda what rafa decided to do a couple of weeks ago anyway.

[Bender]

he needs a complete rest which he won't get therefore his injuries will continue

[SB]

We'll get past Athletico without Torres.

We just need him fit for May 12th.

For my birthday bash

Please someone help him get a restraining order to keep our medical staff away from him. They're ****ing clueless.

Has this Australian wonder doc started yet, or is it next season he gets stuck in properly ?, thinking about it he's been appointed so should be hands on now, but probably lots to do before he has the clubs medical side running as he wants, and with his ideas.

[Craig_H]

His appointment comes into effect after the world cup.

Of course, i remember now..hope he's good, and gives us an edge in the medical science stakes.

More games less training for players like Torres if need be, if that's a feasible option.

So Torres will be OK as long as he doesn't play football?
