The club will come to know about the full extent of the problem on Tuesday, with Torres staying in his homeland this week for treatment, The Sun reports.
But a Kop source revealed: "Fernando was examined by a knee specialist in Spain this afternoon."
"He had treatment and will continue to do so over the next few days, with the injury being reassessed later this week," the source added.
Liverpool takes on Torres' old club Atletico Madrid in next week's Europa League semi-final but now face the prospect of having to pick and choose their fragile striker's games.
