Liverpool striker Fernando Torres suffered an injury scare after being forced off after 23 minutes of Spain's clash with France.

Torres had to be replaced after suffering what appeared to be a right hamstring injury.

It was not immediately obvious when Torres sustained the problem, but Spain coach Luis Aragones was quick to replace the forward with Daniel Guiza when it became obvious he was struggling.

Liverpool, who are away to Chelsea this weekend, will be keeping their fingers crossed that the injury to Torres - their top scorer with 18 goals in all competitions - is not serious.

Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic missed his chance to become Spain's youngest cap when he suffered a recurrence of stomach problems shortly before kickoff.
