Liverpool will have to wait for news on the extent of Fernando Torres' knee injury after his first visit to a specialist proved inconclusive.
The Spanish international missed Sunday's disappointing 0-0 draw with Fulham to travel to his homeland for treatment, but will have to wait for a prognosis of his injury layoff after Monday's consultation brought no firm conclusions.
"Fernando Torres was examined by a knee specialist in Spain," a club statement read.
"He received treatment and will continue to do so over the next few days, with the injury being reassessed later this week."
Liverpool's next game is against West Ham United next Monday, which gives Torres some breathing space in the race to be fit for the Reds crucial run-in.
The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 22 league games this season.
