Injury boost for Reds
Fernando Torres and Paul Konchesky could be fit for Sunday. Both players have returned to full training following their recent injuries and Head of Sports Science and Sports Medicine Peter Brukner is hopefull the pair will be fit enough to face Everton at the weekend. "Fernando is doing pretty well. He had a slight tear in one of his adductor muscles very early on in the game against Blackpool that prevented him going away with Spain in the internationals," Brukner told the club's official website this morning. "He has had intense treatment over the last 10 days and responded very well to that treatment. He's ready to resume training today and if we can build up his training and get through the next few days, then we are optimistic but not certain that he will be able to line up against Everton. "It's still early days but so far so good. He has responded well to the treatment but we will just have to wait and see whether he is able to build up his training sufficiently. "He'll join in the full training session on Thursday, then build up Friday and Saturday. If he gets through these sessions and he is able to stretch out fully and has no after effect from the sessions then he will be able to play. "So we are optimistic he will be ready but it's still too early to say for sure. "Paul is coming along well and will join in full training on Thursday for the first time," he added. "He's done everything we have asked of him so far and he's done a lot of running and a lot of strength work on his hamstring. "Again, it's a bit similar to Fernando that we are reasonably confident he will be available for Everton, but it just depends on his body responds to training. You can do lot of running and things but until you are actually placed in an intense situation in training you don't really know how the body is going to respond. "But at this stage we are optimistic about him as well."
