Sale? I’m more worried about Torres’ knee — Rafa

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez insists he is more concerned about the fitness of striker Fernando Torres than he is by the news the club has been put up for sale.

Co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have announced their intention to sell up, having struggled to find the necessary investment to reduce their £237m (€270m) debt.

British Airways chairman Martin Broughton has been appointed to a similar position at Liverpool to oversee the sale with advice from Barclays Capital.
