Reds Wait For Torres's Scan Verdict

Liverpool are waiting to hear the scan result on the groin injury suffered by Fernando Torres in Sunday's World Cup final but believe it is not serious.

The 26-year-old Spanish striker is due to have a scan in Madrid on Wednesday after pulling up towards the end of Spain's 1-0 win over the Netherlands.
Reds doctor Peter Brukner said: "It certainly looked like it might have been bad but it seems not too bad.
"He walked up to get his medal without too many problems so we're optimistic."
Members of the Liverpool medical staff are set to fly out to Spain to meet Torres later this week before the forward begins an extended break.
Torres endured an injury-plagued season at Anfield last term, making 32 appearances, although he finished as the Reds top scorer with 22 goals in all competitions.
The Spaniard was troubled by a groin injury before Christmas and underwent surgery on his right knee that resulted in him missing most of January and February.
A second operation on the same knee forced him to sit out Liverpool's last four Premier League games and their Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, the club he left for the Merseysiders in 2007.
Torres returned, after a six-week absence, to play for his country in the World Cup finals in South Africa.
But he failed to score in the tournament and was only used as an extra-time substitute in Sunday's final as Spain were crowned world champions for the first time.
He had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes when he had a hand in Andres Iniesta's winning goal but moments later he was carried off with a left adductor muscle injury after pulling up abruptly while chasing a through ball.
Torres has been the subject of much transfer speculation over the summer, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona all being linked with the striker at various points.
However, he was photographed celebrating Spain's World Cup victory with a Liverpool scarf draped around his neck.
Meanwhile, midfielder Alberto Aquilani has recovered from his ankle injury.
The 25-year-old Italian, who moved to Anfield from Roma for £20m in August 2009, missed the first two months of the season with the long-standing injury and then endured an indifferent campaign.
Brukner, the Reds newly appointed head of sports medicine and sports science, confirmed: "Alberto's ankle is 100% healed. He has been training and looked sharp."
