Things are getting pretty serious in Chelsea‘s camp. They face a nervous wait to discover the full extent of the injury suffered by Fernando Torres. The 50 mill spanish player managed to stay only 14 minutes in Spain’s 2-1 against Italy, after receiving a concussion.
Liverpool’s Alberto Aquilani scored the winner goal for Spain in the 39th minute of the second half. Italy took the lead in the 11th minute after Ricardo Montolivo lifted a shot over the first goalkeeper, Iker Casillas. Spain recovered in th 36th minute taking the score to 1-1 with a goal from a penalty by Real Madrid midfielder, Xavi Alonso.
