Sammy Lee paid tribute to the tireless determination of Fernando Torres to regain fitness and insisted the Spain star's return has given everyone connected with the club a timely boost.
After spending five weeks on the sidelines due to a knee injury, Torres made his first-team comeback as a late substitute in the goalless draw with Manchester City on Sunday.
Though it's likely El Nino will have to settle for a place on the bench against Unirea Urziceni this evening, Lee believes the 25-year-old deserves recognition for the hard work he's put in at Melwood in recent weeks.
"It was nice to see him on the bench against Man City," the Reds assistant manager told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It gave us a lift, gave all of the supporters a lift and I know for a fact it certainly took Man City by surprise.
"His recovery has been excellent and it's down to him and the medical staff. He's been working very hard.
"He's worked tirelessly coming in very early in the morning and staying very, very long hours. He has had good people working with him.
