The striker is looking to start against Everton on Monday but says he won't take any chances with his injury and if he's not ready for that game he will again be a subsitute.

"Of course I want to be in the first XI," said Torres.

"I don't know if I can play 90 minutes yet but for sure I can be in the squad.

"I feel much better, and I hope to come back to play in the first XI as soon as possible. Then I can forget the injuries and start to play again for Liverpool who are in a very good position this year.

"I didn't do pre-season properly after the Euros, the season started too soon and you are trying to keep the best physical stamina but it's difficult when you have to play three games a week. Now I want to stay a perfect 100%, and not get injured again."
