Liverpool to leave it late before deciding on Torres as Rafa waits on key trio
Liverpool will leave it as late as possible before deciding if Fernando Torres is fit enough to face Real Madrid on Tuesday evening.Torres injured his ankle in the 1-0 Bernabeu win almost a fortnight ago and his failure to shrug off the complaint means he is a massive doubt for the return enounter against the Galacticos in the Champions League first knockout round, second leg at Anfield. I'll be seeing you again - soon: Fernando Torres can't wait to come up against Real Madrid defender Pepe And manager Rafa Benitez believes he is giving his fellow Spaniard every opportunity to play by insisting an announcement on his fitness will be made at the very last second.He said: 'We will have to decide tomorrow. He has trained yesterday and today - light training sessions and we have one more to go and we will decide then.'Benitez also rated Yossi Benayoun as only '50/50' for the clash along with Alvaro Arbeloa who are both struggling with hamstring problems and they will also be assessed by Melwood medical staff tomorrow morning before a decision is reached.Israel midfielder Benayoun, who netted the only goal at the Bernabeu, may also miss the weekend trip to Old Trafford to face runaway Premier League leaders Manchester United.Arbeloa, who has missed Liverpool's last two matches with a hamstring strain, has returned to light training yesterday and has an outside chance of returning for the weekend.
