Fernando Torres will miss tonight’s Champions League match with Atletico Madrid at Anfield, after the striker’s hamstring injury means Robbie Keane will start instead.

Torres, who has missed the last five matches through injury, is not even on the bench for Rafael Benitez’s side, who will qualify for the last 16 if they beat the Spaniards and if PSV Eindhoven fail to beat French team Marseille.

Sergio Aguerro starts for Atletico, after he scored in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on the 23rd October.

Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio, Mascherano, Alonso, Kuyt, Gerrard, Riera, Keane.

Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Benayoun, Babel, Leiva Lucas, Ngog, Degen.
