Torres will likely play against "Everon" © EuroFootball.com

"Liverpool's forward Fernando Torres is likely to recover in time for the upcoming Liverpool city derby against Everton this weekend.

The Spaniard suffered a thigh injury in a "Premier League" match against "Blackpool" and was unable to represent the national team in the European Championship qualifying matches against Lithuania and Scotland.

"I can see that Fernando is feeling better every day, which is very good news," said the team manager Roy Hodgson. "There were many doubts before whether Torres would be able to play this weekend, but now the chances are really quite good."
