Torres stays at home

Torres was definitely out of the game tomorrow but was considering returning to Madrid to watch Liverpool take on his former club, especially after being offered a VIP seat in the ground by the Athletico president. However, the striker will instead remain at Melwood to continue his rehabilitation from his hamstring injury.

"We talked with the doctor and physios, and with the player himself, and we decided it was important for him to stay here and continue with his recovery," said Rafael Benitez.
