Torres had to come off at half-time in their Premier League game at the weekend, the 4-2 win over Nottingham Forest.
Muscle pain was the cause, with Torres being assessed by the medical staff so far this week.
The consensus among the club, per the Express and Star, is that he should be available soon enough.
