Liverpool's Torres out of Blackburn trip

Fernando Torres will not make his Liverpool comeback from injury against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. The Spanish star has missed the last three games with his problem, but he has been making good progress with the injury.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez has confirmed the striker will not feature against Rovers this weekend.

"He has been training with the team - not full training sessions but part of them," Benitez told the club's official website. "He's doing well but he will not be ready for this game.

"He could be ready for Fiorentina. He was doing some exercises with the team and with the football but it's too soon.

"Maybe next week it will be easier."
