Spain's Football Federation says the Liverpool and World Cup-winning Spain striker Fernando Torres has ruptured a muscle in his left thigh.
In a statement on its website the federation said Torres had a magnetic resonance scan yesterday at the Centro de Madrid Clinic and evidence was found of "a grade one muscle fibre rupture in the left thigh".
Torres struggled to make the World Cup after missing the end of Liverpool's season with injuries to his right knee and looked sluggish in South Africa.
He pulled up shortly after coming on during extra-time of Sunday's 1-0 win over Holland in the final.
The scan results are now being sent to Liverpool, and it is unlikely Torres will feature before the new season starts.
