    Liverpool striker Fernando Torres says he is desperate to return to fitness in time to play in Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park. </p>

    Torres, 23, pulled up while training with Spain and a scan on Monday "confirmed an adductor injury", said a statement on Liverpool's website.</p>

    But Torres, who has scored seven goals for the Reds, said: "I intend to be fit for Saturday. I don't want to miss out.</p>

    "I've been told how special the game is and I need to be ready in time."</p>

    Torres has been in fine form for Liverpool since moving from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in a &pound;26.5m deal in the summer.</p>

    He added: "I am very happy at Liverpool and I've learnt a lot - I love being at a big club like this.</p>

    "I have played in big derby matches before. I played for Atletico against Real Madrid and I'm looking forward to enjoying something similar in the Premier League."</p>

    Torres missed Spain's 3-1 win away in Denmark on Saturday as his side boosted their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2008 from Group F.</p>
