Rafael Benitez has revealed that star striker Fernando Torres could be back in action for the FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Barnsley next Saturday.
The Spanish star picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty in a friendly against France last Wednesday. However, the player is making good progress and Benitez is confident he will be back available for selection ahead of the Champions League clash with Inter Milan.
"Maybe Fernando will be available for the weekend against Barnsley," said Benitez. "We will have to see.
"We have time now and the physios are working really hard with him. He is very optimistic so I think he could be available for the weekend."
