Fernando Torres has told Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez not to keep him protected anymore. Torres was again on the mark in yesterday’s win over Blackburn Rovers.
A source close to Torres said : “Fernando wants to start games not just be used for 15 minutes or so at the end. He is absolutely confident of his fitness and he does not need to be protected any more. It is time for him to be fully involved. Rafa has been cautious with him, which is understandable, but, at this stage of the season, Fernando is willing to take any risk to help Liverpool finish in the top four. There are only 11 games left and everybody at Liverpool knows time is running out. So if Fernando can play a major part in all the games and score important goals, he’s desperate to do that.”
