Torres Out For "Some Games"

Liverpool have confirmed that Fernando Torres will miss "some games" after sustaining an injury to his ankle. Torres sustained the injury in the first half of last nights game with Real Madrid, but on doctors advise Benitez left the striker on the field and started him for the second half. Torres hobbled off on 61 minutes.

Torres will miss the Middlesbrough game this weekend, and it is unclear at this point when he will return.

Liverpool are light now in the striking department having sold Robbie Keane in January. Ryan Babel was brought on to cover last night, and Rafa also has David N'Gog, Dirk Kuyt and Nabil El Zhar who can play up front, though I suspect this will not fill Liverpool fans with confidence, though it might Middlesbroughs defenders.

Captain Keano

Harry Reknapp has confirmed to Sky News that Robbie Keane will be handed the captains armband for the big match against Arsenal this weekend.

Ledley King is sidelined with injury, so Keane will get a run of games as captain. King will remain club captain for now.

Redknapp says "I said to Robbie that if I brought him back that I would like to make him captain. I think it was important to him, to come back and lead the club.

"They [the squad] are all pleased to have him back, and they know what he can do."

"He is a leader and has the personality to be a captain of Tottenham."

Some Tottenham fans have had mixed reactions to the return of Keane, and those who were not happy will be less so with this announcement.

The derby game may be missing Arsenal new boy Andrei Arshavin as he needs to prove his fitness to manager Arsene Wenger to be included in the big game.

Keane Returns To Tottenham

Robbie Keane has returned to Tottenham after just 6 Months with Liverpool, the club he grew up supporting.

The fee is thought to be around £15m, but has not been confirmed.

Robbie Keane has told TottenhamHotspur.Com the following, "It was a difficult decision to make to leave Tottenham in the summer. It proved not to be the right move for me. I know some Spurs fans will feel I let them down by leaving but I can assure them I shall be giving my all for this Club - this Club has terrific fans and I want to repay them for all their support. We've got to get on and fight our way up that league table."

Keane is the Third player to return to Tottenham in this window following Jermain Defoe and Pascal Chimbonda.

Liverpool fans will now be hoping that Fernando Torres retains his fitness in the run in, as an injury to their main striker will likely spend the end of their pursuit on the Premier League and Champions League.
