Torres cleared for Toffees task

16 October 2010 14:00
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is fit to face Everton in the 214th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. The Spain international sustained an adductor injury in the 2-1 defeat to Blackpool almost a fortnight ago but has been declared fit by manager Roy Hodgson. Defender Paul Konchesky has recovered from a hamstring strain while fellow left-back Fabio Aurelio has overcome an Achilles problem which has kept him out since late August. Centre-half Daniel Agger is a doubt with a back injury sustained playing for Denmark this week and Holland forward Dirk Kuyt has been ruled out for at least three weeks after injuring his ankle on international duty.
