Gerrard is currently out with a hamstring tear and Torres is hoping it isn't too serious as his return will be a huge boost for Liverpool in the business end of the season.

"Hopefully Steven will be okay. He's a special player and a vital part of our team and we need him fit again soon," said the striker.

"I don't know how long it will take for his leg to heal, but we wish him the best and hope we can have him back as quick as possible.

"If it is in time for the Champions League game with Real Madrid even better."
