Last updated : 19 October 2007 By Al Campbell
The Spanish striker is recovering well from an injury picked up on international duty and is more and more likely to face Everton tomorrow.

"Torres trained well on Wednesday and we will have another session on Thursday and Friday afternoon, then we will make a decision," said Rafael Benitez.

"We have three players who are very close to returning and we will see how they are before I decide on the team to face Everton.

"It is always a risk but I will talk to the doctor and maybe it is not such a big risk here."
