La Roja tactician http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 striker is struggling in the Premier League and added that it's a concernd ahead of the Euro 2012.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, a fact not lost on Spain's World Cup winning coach Vicente del Bosque.
Andre Villas-Boas has favoured http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 over the Spaniard in recent fixtures, condemning the former Atletico Madrid attacker to the bench. Drogba, in return, answered to his manager's call by scoring in the 1-3 defeat to the visiting Aston Villa.
Speaking on Torres' form in an interview to AS, Del Bosque said:
"It's a concern. He isn't playing much. There are five months to go to the European Championships, in which everything can turn around, but if the situation doesn't change it's going to be difficult for him.
However, the World Cup winner added that the Spaniard should be respected for his past contributions to La Roja cause.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 deserves respect for his career, and he has our confidence, but if he doesn't play... well, time will tell. If he plays and he's fine, he will go to the Euros. He has contributed to the success we've had and he has some leeway."
He added.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Villa's injury in the recently concluded Club World Cup has ruled Spain's all-time record goal scorer out for a minimum of five months, and that might be the ticker for Torres to travel with the squad.
Speaking on Villa's recover process, Del Bosque said:
"He's Spain's leading goalscorer and he's got us out of trouble many times. Villa is important, but the doctors are optimistic and so is he. We'll see."
Villa is unlikely to recover in time for the trip to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, but Torres will have to work on his shooting boots if he is to book his place in the starting eleven irrespective of Villa's injury status.
