Torres has now undergone further tests at Barcelona and the club say he is only suffering from an overload and not an injury.
Here’s the official statement:
“Medical tests have confirmed that Ferran Torres has an overload in the hamstring muscles of his left leg, with no associated injury. The player is not sidelined and will follow a specific treatment plan.”
Barcelona haven’t ruled out Torres despite his early return from international duty, meaning he should be available to feature against Girona at the weekend when Hansi Flick’s side return to action.
The news will be a boost for Flick who has used Torres in all of Barcelona’s La Liga and Champions League games so far this season and seen him score five goals in all competitions.
