Torres has not been the same player since leaving Liverpool for Chelsea but now he is reunited with Benitez there are hopes he can coax the best out of his countryman.

"It is not exactly the same now as he was maximum level at this time but I think he can come back," Benitez said.

"How close, I don't know. It depends also on the rest of the team. I think he can improve but the team has to help him."
