As far as I know he is looking forward to coming back on Monday [for pre-season training], said Hodgson.He is enjoying a holiday a well-deserved break as he has not had one for three years spending a lot of time with his family.
As far as I know he is not really speaking to anyone but he has told us he is looking forward to Monday, looking forward to getting back to work and looking forward to playing for Liverpool next season.
Thats what I know so other reports, I would suggest, are erroneous, Hodgson added. The news came on the day Reds midfielder Javier Mascherano told the club he does want to leave Anfield.
The Argentina midfielder has been linked with a 25million move to Inter Milan, with his agent describing the prospect of linking up with former Reds boss Rafa Benitez at the European champions as a dream. Yes, he wants to leave, added Hodgson.
He has made that perfectly clear. But he is contracted to Liverpool so whether he leaves or not will be our decision.
Mascheranos desire to go is not unexpected but it is the news from Torres which will lift Liverpool fans.
