Liverpool's Fernando Torres to have operation on knee

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres needs an operation on his right knee and will be out of action for six weeks.

Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun have also joined the Reds' injury list.

Gerrard will miss two weeks with a hamstring strain, while Benayoun faces three to four weeks on the sidelines because of a fractured rib.

All three were injured in Liverpool's FA Cup defeat by Reading on Wednesday, providing yet more bad news for under-fire Reds boss Rafael Benitez.

Spain striker Torres lasted barely half an hour against Reading, while Liverpool captain Gerrard went off at half-time.

A Liverpool spokesman said both players had undergone scans on Thursday.

"Steven has a hamstring strain and will be out for a fortnight, while Fernando has torn a cartilage in his right knee," the spokesman added.

"The injury will require surgery and he is expected to be sidelined for six weeks."

Benayoun - one of Liverpool's better players in what has been a desperately disappointing season so far - sustained a fractured rib in the 2-1 extra-time loss to Reading.

The trio will miss this weekend's match against Stoke and the subsequent Premier League encounters with Tottenham and Wolves but the Reds will hope to have Gerrard back in time to face Bolton on 30 January.

However, Torres's injury means he is set to miss next month's Merseyside derby against Everton and February's league matches with third-placed Arsenal and fourth-placed Manchester City.

Torres and Gerrard have struggled with injuries for most of the season, with both finding it difficult to hit top form as Liverpool's fortunes have waned.

The triple setback comes at a time when Benitez is under mounting pressure, with his side out of the Champions League and both domestic cups and down in seventh place in the Premier League.

Arsenal go top of premiership with a 4-2 win over Bolton Wanderers.

I watched it on the net, with refreshing I saw 4 (3 to Arsenal and 1 to Bolton).

Arsenal dominated from what I saw, but they still need a sweeper and another tall strong defender.

Brilliant win, coming from 0:2 down.

Never should have conceded the 2 though, Denilson showed us again how poor he is, giving away a penalty and generally sloppy play.

Cesc is amazing.

Oh ****!!! That was today???! :( I missed it coz suddenly got a lot of work and completely forgot abt it.. very glad abt the win though.. should find the highlights on footytube soon..

We already beat Villa once, Man Utd were lucky last time around Rooney dived and got a penalty, Liverpool did great today beating Spuds but I feel we can win that one too.. only tough game is Chelsea.. if we win that and Villa and one of Man U or 'Pool ones and draw the other we will be on top.. we are on top now and for now thats the bottom line.. spend some more billion pounds and maybe you'll buy a bigger lead over us next season..

Was glad to hear Coyle complain that we tackled them too hard.. usually its AW saying this.. a good sign.. lets kick em if they kick us men!!

Coyle moaned about Arsenal not putting the ball out of play when we got a goal.

For two seasons now, that is up to the referee to blow-up.

Wenger did not moan when Denilson went down against Everton, though Denilson should have fallen on the ball and handled it.

Arsenal were denied a penalty which was more of a penalty than what Bolton got.

Boltons was a penalty, Denilson has got to learn how to tackle in the area.

+1 :laugh: It's a shame that they can't buy the biggest trophy in club football, the UCL, eh? :D

In the context of our season, an excellent win over Spurs yesterday, I hope we can build some momentum now.

Is that right?

Now what makes you say that Rooney is a better player than Kaka, Fabregas, Vermaden, Ronaldo or Defoe?

This year he is a far more influential player than any of those. And he scores. But anyway no matter what I say you'll never agreed, cause we don't wear the same shirt. But at the end of the season, once in South Africa, maybe you'll see.

Incorrect I have a very high level of honesty and integrity.

Scoring goals does not make eth the great player.

When I was 10 I scored 5 goals in one game against Whitgift school, we won 5-1.

Only 1 was a tap in the others were from outside the D.

That doesn't make me a great player, I was a better defender in secondary school and thats where the best players are.

When Rooney is on the big stage he is found wanting, thats why he got sent off against Portugal, because he is not the complete player.

That was long ago. He's matured A LOT as a player and as an individual. He's definitely in the top 3 for the year if he continues this form. Let's see how the rest of the season pans out before coming to conclusions though. Like they say, don't count your chickens before they hatch :p.

Juventus have identified Rafael Ben?tez as the man to replace Ciro Ferrara as manager and hope to capitalise on the Spaniard's frustration with financial constraints at Liverpool with an imminent approach for his services.

Ferrara is close to the sack following a run of six defeats in eight games, the latest courtesy of a stoppage-time winner by the former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise for Roma, and officials at the Turin club have drawn up a list of possible replacements for the inexperienced coach. Liverpool's manager is understood to head their list and will be formally invited to join Juventus once Ferrara has departed, although Ben?tez could delay his appointment until the summer should he choose to accept.

Ben?tez is aware of the Italians' interest and his agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, last night refused to rule out the possibility of a stunning departure from Anfield. "Ben?tez to Juventus? In football you never know," Quilon said. "I don't know what will happen in four to five months. In football everything changes quickly, but the basic principle is that Rafa still has a four-year contract with Liverpool." Ben?tez's agent insisted, however, that a move to Juventus is not a fait accompli. Quilon added: "Right now, that hypothesis is not correct, because he is a very important figure [at Anfield]. The idols of the fans are [steven] Gerrard, [Fernando] Torres, and Ben?tez."

Benitez is contracted with Liverpool until 2014, a small part of the picture that Juventus seem to be overlooking. Although if management do want to get rid of him, I guess this is one way to do it without making a massive payout

I think if Rafa goes it would just mean more complications for the club. Lets hope they can beat the Wolves today and start this positive run

Love this quote from bbc website.

Gary Johnson, who is taking charge of his 200th league game as Bristol City boss, responded to the cup defeat against the Bluebirds by declaring that his side "will be ready for them" at Ashton Gate

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
