Rafa Benitez believes there were signs against Lille that Fernando Torres could soon be back at his deadly best.

The Spain international has started three consecutive games for the Reds since returning from a knee injury which kept him out for six weeks.

His performance was one of several positives Benitez took from the 1-0 Europa League defeat in Lille on Thursday.

He said: "There were signs Torres is coming back. He was working hard today and maybe his pace is coming back.

"There were still a lot of positives. The main thing for me was the team, but there were some individuals that were playing at the level that is expected of them."
