Football Update: Torres fit to play, whereas Kuyt still needs time to recover
Finally some good news for the Liverpool football club has arrived and it is about the fitness of its veteran striker Fernando Torres. The twenty six year old Spaniard super star footballer has been declared fit for the match against Merseyside derby which
will be held on Sunday at Goodison Park.
It is to be notified that the ace striker tore his adductor muscle during the match against the Blackpool United football club on the 3rd of October. Torres also missed the Euro Cup qualifiers matches for Spain against Scotland and Lithuania due to the injury.
Very recently, it is reported that Torres has restarted his training after going through some intensive and tough treatment and it is very much possible that the twenty six year old will play in the Liverpool’s upcoming match against the Everton.
On the other hand, the Dutch playmaker Dirk Kuyt will not be able to play in the next match as he is still suffering from an ankle injury which he hit during the match against Sweden. Whereas the left back Paul Konchesky has also recovered from the hamstring
injury which he took during the match against Sunderland. Paul is now feeling physically fit and is ready to be selected to play against the Everton.
When the Liverpool football club’s boss Roy Hodgson was asked about Konchesky’s recovery, Hodgson told the media that Paul Konchesky and Torres have shown a tremendous recovery and their participation will make a huge difference.
Fernando is still lacking the right amount of confidence required to play in a major match, as he has been facing injury problems as well. He has not been able to capture his good scoring from yet. When Hodgson was asked about the matter, the sixty three
year old told the media that it will take some time for Torres to regain his good scoring form as he has been slightly out of the touch.
Hodgson seemed very keen and concerned about the injury of Fernando Torres and expressed his thoughts by saying that it was very unfortunate for him and for the club that Torres got injured and had to miss some crucial matches. However, his recovery is no
doubt very special for the Liverpool club as his class and importance in the team cannot be denied. The sixty three years old continued and said that the participation of Konchesky and Torres will cause a great impact over the results of the upcoming matches
of the club.
Currently, Liverpool is third from the bottom on the standings table and the new season has not been a lucky one for the club as it was able to snatch just one victory out of seven matches it has played.
On the other hand, Torres has scored just one goal in the season as he has been suffering from the groin injury which he endured in the match against Netherlands in the football World Cup in South Africa.
According to some reports, the ankle injury of Dirk Kuyt is fatal and it will take him some time to get fully recovered. Hodgson told the media that Kuyt endured the ankle injury during on Thursday. It is also reported that the injury can take months to
heal.
Hodgson expressed his views about Kuyt’s injury and told the media that according to the doctors it will take a month for him to get recovered from the injury. Hodgson added and said that Kuyt is a brilliant performer and his absence will be missed in the
upcoming matches.
The return of Fernando Torres and Paul Konchesky has certainly given a sign to sigh to the Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson. However, at the same time Dirk Kuyt’s injury has given a strong blow to the Liverpool’s squad as well.
