Fernando Torres To Face Lat Fitness Test

Striker still struggling with groin injury

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will be given until the very last minute to prove his fitness ahead of Sunday’s Premiership clash with city rivals Everton.

Torres has struggled to overcome a groin injury, and has missed the Reds last three games, however, manager Rafael Benitez is hopeful that the Spaniard will be available for the trip to Goodison Park.

Benitez said:

"We will check him tomorrow. He's training well, he's been with the physios and we'll check after the training session,"

The under-pressure manager did, however, confirm that Ryan Babel will not play a part in the Merseyside derby, adding:

"Ryan Babel will not be available and Martin Kelly is still training with the physios,

"Albert Riera has been training so we'll have to decide. I don't see any other problems. Everyone is training."

Liverpool are 6/5 (PaddyPower) to beat their city rivals on Sunday
