Rafa has commented that striker Fernando Torres will likely miss the game against Chelsea on Sunday.

Torres had been hopeful of recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in Spain's match against France on Wednesday. He was forced to withdraw from that match after a challenge from France's Lilian Thuram.

Torres joins Daniel Agger, Andriy Voronin, Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Aurelio in the treatment room, while midfielder Xabi Alonso is unavailable through suspension.
