Lee: Torres return vital

Assistant manager Sammy Lee believes the imminent return of striker Fernando Torres will provide fresh impetus to Liverpool's bid for the title.

The Spaniard has not featured since the end of November due to a hamstring injury, but could return on the bench against Bolton on Boxing Day.

Lee said: "When you have a world-class performer to come back, of course it makes you better and provides a lift."
