Liverpool head coach Rafa Benitez is not happy with Spain over the usage and training methods that has led to Fernando Torres being injured for the third time while away with the National Team.
After the 24 year old suffered his 5th Hamstring Injury in the last 16 months, Benitez has come out and publicly questioned the methods and habits of the Spanish National Team while club players are on International Duty.
“He has been injured now three times while with the national team and it is something we have to analyse,” Benitez said.
“We know they are doing something that is maybe not the best for the player.”
Interestingly Benitez has been quoted saying that Torres had no prior Hamstring Injury prior to joining Liverpool from Atletico Madrid.
“We are very disappointed with the situation. We have to analyse why it has happened,” said Benitez.
“We have been working with prevention exercises in the past, and still we have the same problem. We were taking time with him, he wasn’t being rushed back. The time and training was all under control, as were all the exercises.
“We now have to analyse why it has happened again. The doctor and the physio were both working very hard with Fernando and they are both first-class, but now it is the same situation.
“We will now not be taking any risks with his comeback. If he is fit then he will play, if he is not fit then he won’t, it is simple.”
