Rafael Benitez has confirmed star striker Fernando Torres will miss the clash with Chelsea tomorrow with a hamstring injury.

Torres picked up the injury on international duty, and Rafa Benitezs confirmed Torres has lost his race against time to be fit for the top of the table clash: “We do not have Torres, but I believe we have the fire-power to beat Chelsea,” the Spaniard continued. “We have been playing well and have good confidence.

“We have enough quality in the squad. We may have been more worried without Torres in the past, but we have improved, we have new players with a very good mentality.

“We have enough to beat a very good team, and that is what Chelsea are. It is too early to talk of titles, but we have the confidence to beat anyone. So we will go to Stamford Bridge and try to do our best. If we win it will be perfect and if we do not lose that too will be positive.”
