Torres in line to face Arsenal

14 August 2010 10:30
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is in contention for a place in the squad to face Arsenal. The Spain international sustained an adductor injury in their World Cup final victory but has made good progress in his rehabilitation and could feature at Anfield. Wantaway midfielder Javier Mascherano could also play as the club have not received any bids for the Argentina captain, who has impressed boss Roy Hodgson with his attitude in training. The match may be too early for Christian Poulsen, who only signed on Thursday.
