The return of Torres to action against Arsenal on Sunday has further bolstered Hodgson's attacking options as he prepares to lead his contingent into a busy period of domestic and European fixtures.
However, the boss will continue to err on the side of caution with the fitness of the World Cup winner.
"The Sports Science people are concerned that we don't rush him back too early and that we don't prejudice his fitness or situation with the injury he took him to the World Cup," he told liverpoolfc.tv.
"We don't want to prejudice anything by throwing him into the fray too early, but he is very, very keen to get back in.
"I thought he handled himself well in the 15 minutes he played against Arsenal, so I am hoping he will play a part in tomorrow night's game (against Trabzonspor) and then be ready for Manchester City."
