Liverpool have confirmed that striker Fernando Torres faces up to ten days on the sidelines through injury.
Torres underwent scans on a hamstring injury he picked up in Spain's 1-0 win over France on Wednesday.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez lamented the injury to Torres ruling him out of this weekend's clash at Chelsea.
Scans have confirmed the full extent of the injury with the former Atletico Madrid ace suffering a tear to his hamstring.
A statement from club spokesman Ian Cotton on the club's official website, said: "Fernando was examined by medical staff when he returned to Melwood.
"A scan later confirmed their diagnosis that he suffered a hamstring tear in his right leg. Fernando is expected to be out for approximately 10 days."
It means Torres will miss the clash at Stamford Bridge as well as the FA Cup tie with Barnsley on 16th February, but Liverpool are hopeful he will be back in time for the UEFA Champions League game with Internazionale on 19th February.
