Rafa may risk Torres

Rafa Benitez has admitted that he may have to risk Fernando Torres for the weekend's match with Fulham. Fulham take on Liverpool in the Premiership three days before the Reds' crucial Champions League match with Chelsea.

"We will think about Chelsea but for us to be in the top four is really important, and we will have enough energy to play against Chelsea on Tuesday," said Benitez.

"Sometimes it's not easy for players to concentrate with a Champions League semi-final so near, but they know how important it is to finish in the top four so hopefully they will be focused.

"They will be concentrated and then hopefully we can talk about two victories in both games."
