Fernando Torres has told Rafa Benitez to stop fretting about him while he is away with Spain.
Benitez is anxious Torres does not get crocked just days after returning from six weeks out with a knee injury.
The striker is critical to Liverpool's Champions League hopes and his winner against Blackburn was his 13th goal in 17 league games this season.
But Torres did little to allay Benitez's worries by claiming he won't hold back in Wednesday’s friendly against France.
He says Benitez knows how important representing his country is to him and that he will play for as long as coach Vicente Del Bosque wants.
"Rafa has enough to deal with," said Torres from the Spanish training camp. "It's normal that he's thinking about his interests, but he knows that all the players want to go to the national team.
"For us it is an honour to be here, to play as much as possible and to return as fit as possible to our teams.
"Luckily I recovered in time and to be in the national squad is a prize for me. I have the good fortune that the coach called me up after playing just a few games since I recovered.
"I'm tired after playing nearly 90 minutes after two months of not doing so, but I'm ready for as much [of the game] as the coach thinks is right."
