Liverpool will have to wait a little longer to discover the extent of the latest knee injury to keep star striker Fernando Torres on the sidelines.

The 26-year-old Spain international missed the goalless draw with Fulham last weekend, having been forced to undergo knee surgery in January which kept him out of action for more than a month.

A short statement from the Reds confirmed: "Fernando Torres was examined by a knee specialist this afternoon (Monday) in Spain.

"He received treatment and will continue to do so over the next few days, with the injury being reassessed later this week."

Earlier, Reds manager Rafa Benitez had voiced his fears of another major lay-off for Torres, saying: "He has a problem with his knee and has gone to see a specialist. We are waiting for news.

"We don't know really, it depends on the specialists. He had a problem before and we were trying to protect him."
