We'll be surrendering a barely fit Torres to Spain while Rooney suddenly has became doubtful for the England game

Torres comments:

FIFA.com - Torres relishing French challenge

 

Fernando Torres is keen for as much international playing time as possible despite Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez's concerns over his injured striker who has recently returned from a lengthy lay-off.

 

Benitez will be hopeful Torres returns from Spain duty without picking up any new knocks in the European champions' friendly against France on Wednesday. Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque has denied falling out with the Liverpool boss after naming Torres in his squad and insists he will monitor the amount of time the forward is on the pitch.

 

But Torres claims Benitez's worries are of little concern to him. "Rafa has enough to deal with with what he's got," he told reporters as he arrived at Spain's training camp. "It's normal that he's thinking about his interests but he knows that all the players want to go to the national team.

 

"For us it is an honour to be here, to play as much as possible and to return as fit as possible to our teams. Luckily I recovered in time. To be in the national squad is a prize for me. I have the good fortune that the coach called me up after playing just two games since I recovered."

 

Torres marked his first start since 13 January with the winning goal in the bruising 2-1 victory over Blackburn at Anfield yesterday. The 25-year-old has now scored 13 goals in 17 Premier League appearances and despite having missed nearly six weeks after a knee operation he is still the club's top scorer.

 

Torres will be hoping to replicate that form on Wednesday against France, with La Roja wanting to avenge their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Les Bleus which saw them knocked out of the last FIFA World Cup™. "I'm tired after playing nearly 90 minutes after two months of not doing so," he said. "But I'm ready for as much as the coach thinks is right.

 

"These games are always special for Spain. We can't wait to play against them, especially after they knocked us out of the last World Cup. We always have it in for them."

Are there any betting websites offering odds of him getting injured while with Spain?

I'd lump on it.

Torres should remember who pays his wages before he becomes too eager to risk another injury for yet another pointless international friendly. We have invested so much in him, to rehabilitate him after all these fucking injuries, the least he can do is agree to remain at Liverpool to improve his fitness rather than playing in a bruising, physical yet ultimately pointless friendly vs France.

I'm negging Torres for his comments.

What does that mean? He wants to remember who pays his wages. He's a shoe in for the world cup squad so maybe a good time to put club first.
