Torres's injury not as bad as it looked at first

Fernando Torres's injury is not as bad as that of Marco Van Ginkel according to Chelsea.
The Spain striker lasted just 11 minutes in tonight's 4-0 win in Romania against Steaua Bucharest.
Van Ginkel suffered a cruciate ligament injury against Swindon Town in the Capital One Cup last Tuesday, which means his season is over.
But a Chelsea insider suggests that they don't expect Torres's scan to be anything like as serious.
Torres was already suspended for Sunday's trip to Norwich City following his second yellow sending off against Spurs on Saturday, so he was never going top play anyhow.
