Fernando Torres to return to Liverpool for Steven Gerrard farewell match at Anfield [AS]

Spanish newspaper AS report that a number of Spaniards will be returning to Anfield, to appear in Steven Gerrard’s farewell match at Anfield at the end of March.

Steven Gerrard has confirmed that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.

On Sunday, AS have revealed that current Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres will return to Anfield for the Steven Gerrard farewell match on March 29, 2015.

One team will be made up of former team mates of Steven Gerrard, including Torres, Luis Suarez, Javier Mascherano, Pepe Reina and Xabi Alonso.

It is not clear what sort of reception Fernando Torres will receive from the Anfield faithful after his mega money move to Chelsea in January 2011.

Similarly, Luis Suarez left under somewhat of a cloud, to Barcelona last summer.

The likes of Pepe Reina, Xabi Alonso should receive an excellent reception from the Kop.

There is no word from Spain whether current Real Madrid right back Alvaro Arbeloa will also be joining the Spanish contingent for a Liverpool return at the end of next month.

Liverpool, without the injured Steven Gerrard, head to St Mary’s to face Southampton in the Premier League this afternoon.
