Fernando Torres spoke of his dismay after receiving news that he may not be able to play at Vicente Calderon after all.
The Liverpool striker was all set to face his former club, Atletico Madrid next week at his former home stadium.
However, his plans have been scuppered by UEFA’s decision on the stadium plan after some Marseille players were racially abused.
“After so much time waiting, it is the worst and most unexpected news that I could have heard this morning,” he told the offish site.
“I’m eager to go back. I don’t know if it is definitive, I hope that a solution can be found.
“It is a shame that these incidents have forced the stadium to be closed, but if this is what happens then we have to accept it.”
Torres’ fellow Spaniard and Liverpool teammate, Pepe Reina also spoke of his disappointment.
“It’s a huge blow for us, the Spanish players at Liverpool. Above all for Fernando, who was the most eager of all of us to visit the Calderon.
“As well as that, we all had commitments, tickets agreed, and this changes all the plans.”
Reina’s father, Miguel Reina Santos, played for Atletico in the 1970s.
