REDS WAITING ON TORRES SCAN

Fernando Torres will today undergo a scan to determine the extent of the hamstring injury he sustained at Villa Park.

The Spanish striker was forced to limp out of Sunday's goalless stalemate and is now waiting to discover how long he will be on the sidelines for. "We will have to wait and see what the scan says, and then wait and see over the next seven, 10 days," said Benitez after the game. "It is a positive thing that we have this international break now." Torres has already withdrawn from the Spanish squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bosnia and Armenia.
