Striker Fernando Torres is 'uncertain' for Spain's World Cup opener against Switzerland after undergoing knee surgery, Liverpool's medical department said on Tuesday.Torres suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during the Europa League match against Benfica last month, ruling him out of Liverpool's run-in and the club said his rehabilitation could not be rushed."You can't be absolutely certain of anything but at this stage, if he continues to progress the way he is, he should be fit to play at some stage during the World Cup," Peter Brukner, Liverpool's head of sports medicine and science, told the club's website (www.liverpoolfc.tv)."Whether he'll be fit for the first game or not is uncertain. We're anxious not to hurry him along too much because we want the long-term benefit, but we're aware he's got the short-term goal of playing in the World Cup."Spain face Switzerland in Durban on June 16.(Reporting by Martyn Herman; editing by Miles Evans; To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)News posted by www.newsinfoline.com
