Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has spoken of his "disappointment" at suffering another hamstring injury.

The Spanish international only recently returned from a five week lay-off with the same injury, but aggravated the problem during the win over Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

He will now be out for up to three weeks and Torres admitted he is getting worried about his hamstring as a result of injuring it so many times.

"I am a little disappointed, but all I can do is move forward," Torres told Liverpool's official website. "It is worrying me because it has happened a few times.

"After this latest injury the important thing is to recover without rushing a comeback date and trying to make sure it does not happen again."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was adamant that the club will do everything in their power to try and find a solution to Torres' hamstring problems. Benitez was confident the striker wouldn't suffer long-term hamstring problems which plagued the likes of Ryan Giggs and Michael Owen.

"We have been doing prevention work, but now we need to look at everything," said Benitez. "We will look at his car, his bed, his warm-up, every factor and we will try to resolve the problem."
