Benitez: Torres must take it easy

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is handling Fernando Torres’ comeback from injury carefully as he intends to get the best out of his star striker over the coming months.

The Spain international was left on the bench for last night’s 2-1 victory over Wigan, although his 64th-minute appearance, off the bench, proved to be timely as he scored the crucial second goal 14 minutes later.
