Torres could return draws near

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has no new injury problems to contend with ahead of Sunday’s trip to Arsenal.

Striker Fernando Torres could be back in a week’s time after a hamstring injury, while full-back Fabio Aurelio (calf) may return to the squad after missing the last three league matches.

Centre-back Martin Skrtel has returned to full training after two months out with knee ligament damage but will not be considered for the trip to Arsenal.

Team (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Dossena, Aurelio, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Alonso, Riera, Kuyt, Keane, Ngog, Cavalieri, Insua, El Zhar.
