ROY HODGSON today delivered the news every Liverpool fan has been waiting to hear - Fernando Torres is fully fit and ready to start firing.[LNB]The Spanish striker is expected to lead the line tonight here in Holland when Liverpool face FC Utrecht in the Europa League.[LNB]There have been concerns that Torres has been feeling the effects of an injury sustained in the World Cup final during the opening weeks of the campaign, which has affected his form.[LNB]Hodgson, though, has pointed to the fact Torres has been responsible in some way for Liverpool's last four goals in the Premier League and gets the sense he is coming to the boil.[LNB] Liverpool have had to tread a careful path with Torres but now Hodgson is confident he is in the right shape to show his full potential.[LNB]'There is no reason now to separate Fernando from the rest of the group as he trains every day - I think the injury problems are behind him now and we can't bring those up any more,' he said.[LNB]'They were supposedly cleared up when he went to the World Cup. Because then he didn't meet up to some people's expectations then there were theories about him being injured.[LNB]'But really he was recovered from injury - the injury he picked up in the final was very minor and had cleared up when he got back to us.
