Fernando Torres will have a fitness test on Saturday to see whether he is fit enough to be considered for a place in Liverpool's squad against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Torres has been having treatment on his serious groin injury, and has done light training this week under the control of Liverpool's fitness coaches.
