Impact Torres was substituted into the match against Atletico Madrid, playing 26 minutes, creating two chances, and drawing one foul. He finished the game with calf discomfort, and subsequent MRI scans on Tuesday revealed a minor injury that will keep him sidelined until he fully recovers. Torres has not been a regular starter this season, so his absence is unlikely to affect the starting XI significantly. However, Ansu Fati and Fermin Lopez could see increased playing time in his recovery.

Scores brace off bench Wednesday Torres scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Torres was subbed onto the pitch in the 71st minute Wednesday and made a massive impact. He took the 2-1 lead with an unassisted strike in the 75th minute, then scored the match-winning goal in the 85th minute off a Lamine Yamal assist. The two goals were his first in the Champions League this season. He now has four goals in his last three matches (UCL and La Liga), so it's fair to say he's over his hamstring issue.

Scores off bench Torres scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Betis.

Impact Torres was benched to make way for superstar striker Robert Lewandowski. The 24-year-old's demotion did not deter him, as both forwards scored a goal Saturday. By doing so, Torres has two goals in as many games. Though there is not really any room for him in Barcelona's starting XI, perhaps he can up his value by establishing himself as a super sub.

Impact Torres is inching closer to a return to the pitch following a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the last month.

With Ansu Fati injured, Raphinha has kept his position in the wings, with Dani Olmo moving up to winger with the absence of Lamine Yamal.

Suffers hamstring injury Torres has picked up a hamstring injury, according to his club.

Impact Torres was forced off just six minutes into Sunday's match against Alaves, with the forward leaving the field due to a hamstring injury. The forward is expected to miss around six to eight weeks due to the issues, leaving him set for a return around mid-December. He has started in their last three matches, so this will force a change, with Ansu Fati being an option, or Raphinha could move out to the left wing while Pablo Torre takes his spot.

That's now one goal and two assists over seven league appearances for the forward, who still remains far from being a surefire starter under new head coach Hansi Flick.

Impact The speedy winger should be part of the squad to host Getafe on Wednesday, and his return will give manager Hansi Flick another alternative in the attacking third. That said, he's not expected to start unless the manager decides to rotate the side given the heavily congested schedule Barca will have in the coming weeks.

Torres then buried one of his own just two minutes later on a shot from the center of the box, assisted by Raphinha. Torres has registered at least one shot in each game this season and has a total of three shots on target.

Impact Torres completed his second full season with Barcelona, once again serving in a rotational role after only starting in about half of his games, just like the previous campaign. However, he did still earn nine goal contributions, earning three more than he did last time around. He will likely remain in this role for the rest of his time with Barcelona, earning time here and there, although there is a chance we could see him exit the club this summer.

Impact Torres didn't play against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, but manager Xavi Hernandez had already stated that Torres had a solid chance to return against Atletico. His return to training does nothing but boost that option even further. While he'd likely start the game on the bench, Torres will provide another reliable upfront for Los Blaufgranas if he is available to face Atletico.

Impact Torres suffered a hamstring injury in late January and hasn't played since then, though his return to action was getting closer and closer after he returned to training with the rest of his teammates recently. Barcelona will likely miss his pace in the final third against Napoli, but at the same time, they're being very cautious to avoid a potential setback due to an early return. Torres has netted 11 goals while adding four assists across 32 matches in all competitions this season.
