Torres sets sights on West Brom

Fernando Torres is set to make his comeback from a hamstring injury against West Brom at Anfield on Saturday.

The Liverpool striker has missed six matches since he was hurt during Spain's 2-1 win over Belgium in a World Cup qualifier three weeks ago .

However, Rafael Benitez is confident his main forward will return this weekend.

The Liverpool manager said: "I believe Torres will be ready for the West Brom game.

"It all depends on Fernando, he was not happy with his fitness so he did not play against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

"He said he was not confident, so you cannot take any risks with a hamstring injury.

"I will talk to the player to see how he is after each training session. I will also talk with the physio and the doctor. But how Fernando feels will be the key."
