Fernando Torres Injury Boost Ahead Of West Ham Trip


Liverpool are set to welcome back two of their international stars for Saturday's crunch Premier League clash at West Ham.

Fernando Torres, who missed Sunday's win over Newcastle with a hamstring niggle, and Javier Mascherano, who was substituted with an ankle problem, are both in line for a return at Upton Park where the Reds will be looking for three points to maintain pressure Manchester United at the top of the league table.

Fernando Torres' season continues to be marred by a series of niggling injuries, but Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez could have the option of fielding the prolific striker as early as this weekend. Torres seems to have shaken off his hamstring problem.

Benitez is also hopeful Fernando Torres will have the chance to add to his 16 goals this season against the Hammers.
