Torres returns to Atletico

FORMER Liverpool striker Fernando Torres could make his Atletico Madrid return in a Copa de Rey match with crosstown rival Real two days after rejoining his boyhood club.

Atletico said in a statement yesterday that Torres will return to the club on loan from AC Milan next Monday, when the Italian transfer window opens. The move is subject to Torres passing a medical test.

The first match the striker would be available for is the first leg of the cup match against Real on January 7.

On Saturday, Chelsea sent Torres to Milan on a permanent basis, thus allowing the Italian club to loan him to Atletico.

Atletico said the 30-year-old Torres, who was born in the Madrid suburb of Fuenlabrada, “returns to his home, where he trained as a player and became one of its biggest stars”.

Torres played his first official game for Atletico in 2001, when he was 17. He played in 244 games and scored 91 goals.
