We thought the news that Torres would miss tomorrow’s West Ham game was bad enough. The player is in Spain and unable to fly back due to the volcanic ash cloud which has shut European airspace, but the club have now confirmed more serious news.
The player is undergoing knee surgery this evening in Spain and will miss the rest of the season.
He has torn a cartilage in his right knee and will be out for a minimum of 6 weeks – bad news for Liverpool but gives him a slight chance of returning for Spain in the World Cup.
Torres was injured the last time that Liverpool met Atletico Madrid and will once again miss the reds important semi final clash with Atletico, which itself looks set to be postponed in a UEFA meeting tomorrow.
