Torres out for the season

(Thats us f**ked. Saying that, not as if we were gonna do anything this season anyhoo i suppose)


Liverpool striker
Fernando Torres has been ruled out for the rest of the season as he
requires knee surgery.


Torres missed Liverpool's draw with Fulham last weekend as a
result of the problem and he will now be forced under the knife to
correct the injury.The Spanish international underwent knee
surgery in January and he spent six weeks on the sidelines.Liverpool
have now confirmed that Torres will undergo surgery on a knee injury
later on Sunday in Spain.A club spokesman said: "Fernando saw a
specialist in Spain earlier today and it was decided that he would need
surgery on a torn cartilage in his right knee."This will be
carried out later tonight. We cannot comment ahead of the operation, but
as a guide, the usual rehabilitation period for this type of procedure
is around six weeks."Despite enduring an injury-hit campaign,
Torres has weighed in with 18 goals in 24 league outings for the
Merseyside club this season.The news is a massive blow for
Liverpool's chances of claiming a a top-four finish and also winning the
Europa League with the first-leg of their semi-final clash against
Torres' former club Atletico Madrid taking place on Thursday.
