Torres makes fitness pledge

Fernando Torres today assured Liverpool fans that he is ready to return to top form as he nears 100 per cent fitness.


The 26-year-old followed his goal against West Brom last weekend with a double for Spain in their 4-0 thrashing of Liechtenstein on Friday night.

All this after a deliberately drawn-out recuperation following the injuries which marred last season and his World Cup.

Torres said: "The recuperation is perfect and we have waited our time.

"I am still not 100 per cent, but the people will soon see the best Torres.

"Each time I am recuperating sensations and I hope to obtain success with Liverpool this season."
