Torres made it four goals in a week with another double against Lille last night. His return to full match fitness has obviously made a difference as the Reds have now scored seven goals in their last two games.
"Torres was working very hard with the physios and the fitness coach. I'm really pleased because you can see he is fit, but I still believe he can improve," said Benitez.
"You can see there is a big difference when he plays well and it is the same with Gerrard too. It helps the rest of the team to play better.
"I would like to say he is 50%, fit, but, he is close. Match fitness is about playing games and if he can rest it will be good. He is very close now."
