Fernando Torres has been included in the initial team roster selection of Spain for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and even though the player was recently operated he is recovering as planned from his injury. Torres is giving a battle against time to be ready for Spain’s opening game against Switzerland, but according to the doctors he will most likely miss it, and now their goal is for the striker to play against Honduras.
“At this stage we cannot be certain of anything but if he continues recovering with the same pace he should be ready to play in some games during the 2010 World Cup. It is unclear if Fernando Torres will make it for the first match and we definitely don’t want to rush. We are really looking at the long term benefits here, but we are aware that the player is also interested in the short term future which is the World Cup finals.”
Fernando Torres was injured in the Europa League game of Liverpool against Benfica, and the striker underwent knee surgery after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. Torres was criticised by Liverpool fans and media for his decision to go under surgery now and leave his team mid season in order to be ready for the 2010 World Cup.
Spain is starting the 2010 World Cup against Switzerland on June 16, and the second gameday is on June 21 against Honduras.

If he’s not fit in time for the first match, Spain won’t take him. They have other players who would be a good back up and they won’t want to take someone who is half fit.
