Striker set to return
Liverpool, 09:00, December 4, 2009 ,
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will hand striker Fernando Torres a late fitness test ahead of the clash at Blackburn this weekend.
The Spanish ace has been sorely missed by the Reds as he has battled to overcome a groin injury which he picked up on international duty.
Benitez expects to have something close to a full squad of players to choose from for the clash with Sam Allardyce's side.
He said: "We have two or three players with knocks, but hopefully they are small things.
"It is always very positive (to have a fully fit squad), but there is a big difference in players being available and being ready.
"When they are coming back from injuries you have to be careful, but at least we will have options we didn't have before."
