Fernando Torres has had successful keyhole surgery to save his season.
The Liverpool striker needed the op on his damaged right knee and his surgeon later revealed everything had gone to plan during the 45-minute procedure.
Dr. Ramon Cugat, the specialist who operated on the troublesome cartilage in a Barcelona hospital, said: "The surgery was a success and, if there are no problems, Fernando will be OK in six weeks."
That will be a huge relief for Kop boss Rafa Benitez, who first feared his talisman could be lost for months after the player limped off in the FA Cup loss to Reading last week.
A source close to the striker said: "Fernando is calm and satisfied after hearing the news from the medical staff.
"They think he can make a quick recovery so he can help Liverpool improve their season, then help Spain in the World Cup."
