Fernando Torres returned to Liverpool today after visiting Valencia to see specialist about his hernia injury.
The Spain forward was told to rest for three weeks, according to reports in his native country. But with Rafael Benitez, the Liverpool manager, facing an injury crisis, Torres could be considered for the Barclays Premier League match against Birmingham City on Monday.
Torres is reported to be against taking the time out as it would result in him missing league matches against Manchester City and Everton, and the vital Champions League game against Debrecen.
Steven Gerrard, the club captain, has had painkilling injections for a groin injury this week and taken part in some light training, as Torres did today, but the England midfield player is a doubt for the match at Anfield.
Both will take part in more training sessions over the weekend before a decision is made about their availability to face Birmingham.
Albert Riera (hamstring), Fabio Aurelio (calf) and Martin Skrtel (virus) are likely to be back in action but there are still worries about Glen Johnson (calf) and Martin Kelly (ankle).
