TORRES AND GERRARD INJURY UPDATE

TORRES AND GERRARD INJURY UPDATE
Paul Eaton 04 September 2008
Rafael Benitez today confirmed both Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard are back in light training at Melwood.
With both players facing a race against time to be fit for next weekend's Premier League clash with Manchester United, the manager has revealed they are each "ten to twelve days" away from a return to competitive action.

Torres is battling to overcome a hamstring tear sustained against Aston Villa at the weekend while Gerrard is recovering from a minor groin operation.

"Both players are now back jogging and will be out for ten to twelve days," said Benitez.

"Gerrard might be back before Torres but you never know."
