The striker has missed Liverpool's last two games after twisting an ankle in the first leg match against Real Madrid. However, he has now recovered and says he will be fit for the second leg this Tuesday and then Saturday's game against Man Utd.

"I hope to be available for both of the matches because they will be two great games," said Torres.

"The ankle injury has been giving me some trouble and the recovery process is taking longer than I hoped.

"However, I am quite optimistic that I will be ready for the match versus Real Madrid, and if the ankle holds out, I will also be at Old Trafford."
