Fernando Torres will miss Liverpool's trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday after limping off after just under half an hour of play during Spain's friendly against France last night.
Torres has been one of very few good things about Liverpool's campaign this season and it is clear their chances of a victory on Sunday are now unlikely without the Spaniard.
Torres signed for the Reds during the summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £23 million and has scored over a dozen goals for the Merseyside club in just over twenty games.
Big blow for Benitez and the Liverpool squad and it will be even bigger if he misses the Champions League tie against Inter Milan later in the month. I can see Peter Crouch playing against Chelsea on Sunday but lets hope he doesn't do what he did the last time he was at Stamford Bridge.
