Torres ruled out for rest of season

Fernando Torres will miss the remainder of the season after it was decided that he will have knee surgery. "Fernando saw a specialist in Spain earlier today and it was decided that he would need surgery on a torn cartilage in his right knee," said a club spokesman. "This will be carried out later tonight. "We cannot comment ahead of the operation, but as a guide, the usual rehabilitation period for this type of procedure is around six weeks." Torres will miss the rest of the Premier League season and Liverpool's Europa League tie against his former club Atletico Madrid, but will probably be fit in time for the World Cup Finals.
