Fernando Torres is expected to be fit for Sunday's Merseyside derby after surviving a midweek injury scare.
The Liverpool striker was substituted early in the second half of Wednesday's Spain 1-0 friendly defeat to Italy after once again suffering harsh treatment from Inter Milan's Marco Materazzi.
Just over a month after Materazzi was dismissed for two fouls on Torres during a Champions League quarter-final, Torres was left limping by another mis-timed tackle by the defender.
However, Liverpool are confident that he will be available to lead the line against Everton this weekend.
