Injury update

Rafael Benitez only decided on the coach to the ground to play Fernando Torres against Man Utd on Sunday and didn't risk him at all against Arsenal last night. However, the striker is progressing well and will be able to face Fulham this weekend. Steven Gerrard may miss out again however.

"I think Torres could be okay. Gerrard is working with the physios so we will see," said Benitez.

"Today we had a few more problems, but these two players will need time. Hopefully Torres will be okay.

"Gerrard is maybe more difficult for Fulham."
