Midfielder Xabi Alonso is also facing a spell on the sidelines after an X-ray revealed he had fractured the fourth metatarsal in his left foot.

A Liverpool spokesman summed up the players' injuries on liverpoolfc.tv, saying: "A scan this morning (on Torres) has shown a tear to a different adductor muscle to his original injury and we expect Fernando to be out for about three weeks."

On Alonso, he added: "An x-ray showed a fracture to the fourth metatarsal in his left foot. Xabi will be seen by a consultant on Tuesday after which we will have a much better idea of the timescales involved."

Both players were injured in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday along with Javier Mascherano. However the midfielder has suffered only extensive bruising and no bone injury.

The spokesman added: "He (Mascherano) had an x-ray which has showed no bone injury, but he will receive intensive treatment on extensive bruising in his foot."
