Liverpool will await the results of scans on Monday on rib and ankle injuries sustained by top scorer Fernando Torres in the controversial 3-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Manchester United.
The match was marred by the first-half red card for Javier Mascherano, after his protracted dissent in a confrontation with referee Steve Bennett.
It has emerged, however, that the root cause of Liverpool´s anger and frustration at Old Trafford was the treatment meted out to Torres by United defenders.
