Liverpool To Take Control Of Torres's Injury

Liverpool will fly some of their medical team out to Madrid later this week to take charge of Fernando Torres' recovery from his groin injury.
In a clear sign to Chelsea that Torres is still their player, the Reds claim they will be speaking to their star striker to organise his rehab.
Torres was being assessed by the Spain's medical team today and the initial diagnosis is that he has torn a muscle in his groin, which will sideline him for the start of the new season.
The World Cup winner was due to have a scan today and Liverpool claim his injury is not serious.

Dr Peter Brukner, Liverpool's new head of medicine and sports science at Anfield, plans to take full control of Torres' recovery.
"We've been in touch with the Spanish medical team and they don't think it's too serious," he said. "It's an adductor muscle injury but they've not had a chance to assess it today.
"Fernando will have a proper assessment and probably a scan and some of the Liverpool medical staff will go to Madrid later in the week to fully assess the injury and organise his rehab. At this stage we don't think it's too serious.
"We can't say too much more at the moment until it is properly assessed."
