Liverpool have been performing solidly in the absence of Spanish international Fernando Torres, as they have climbed the league ladder to the loftiest of positions.
However, the return of their superstar hitman could give the team a much-needed lift and freshness over the hectic Christmas schedule.
Torres has been kept at bay due to a problematic thigh injury, and reports suggest a meeting with specialist Ramon Cugat has been pencilled in, but the verdict for full training is expected to be green-lighted.
"I have been talking to Fernando today, and he is much better. But how long before he returns, I don't know," Rafa Benitez is reported to have said.
"He is in light training. It could be one or two weeks, but I don't want to put pressure on him."
Liverpool face a potential banana-skin of an opponent this weekend in Hull City, a side who have already beaten Arsenal away from home this term, and managed to knock three past Manchester United at Old Trafford.
