Liverpool vs Chelsea: Rafa Benitez has ruled Spanish striker Fernando Torres out of Sunday's crunch Liverpool match with Chelsea in the Premiership. Torres picked up the injury in Spain's match with France.
Benitez has ruled him out and hit out at the timing of the latest round of international friendlies.
"We have lost Torres and Mascherano is not back until tomorrow," Benitez told the club's official website.
"I don't think it (friendly situation) is fair. I think Mascherano will be okay for Sunday but we will have to see.
"The news we have on Torres is that it is a hamstring injury. I need to talk to the doctor but I think he will miss this game. Normally it is a week when a player goes off like this."
