FERNANDO TORRES will swerve an emotional return to Atletico Madrid in an effort to get fit for Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash at Chelsea.
Liverpool’s crocked Spanish striker was offered a VIP seat for tomorrow night’s Champions League game and was guaranteed a hero’s welcome on his return to the Vicente Calderon.
But Kop boss Rafa Benitez and the forward, suffering from a hamstring injury, have decided he should stay at the club’s training ground and work on his fitness.
Benitez said: “The physios feel he should stay here and continue with his recovery.”
