Torres KO blow for Liverpool



LIVERPOOL striker Fernando Torres lasted just 16 minutes as SPAIN won 2-1 in BELGIUM.

El Nino suffered a micro-tear to his left hamstring in the Group Five clash and will now miss Wigan’s visit to Anfield on Saturday.

Spain team doctor Oscar Celada said: “He has intense pain at the back of his thigh.”

Wesley Sonck put the hosts ahead on seven minutes but Andres Iniesta and David Villa replied.

Torres' Liverpool team-mate Ryan Babel limped off during HOLLAND’S 1-0 Group Nine win over NORWAY in Oslo.

Bayern Munich skipper Mark van Bommel netted the winner for the Dutch.

Roma's Alberto Aquilani hit both goals in Lecce as ITALY won 2-1 against MONTENEGRO to stay top of Group Eight.
