Clean sheet in return to XI
Torres recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 6-0 win versus Fenerbahce.
Analysis: Torres made a strong return to the starting lineup in Villa's rout of Fenerbahce, his first start since the hamstring injury that forced him off against Nottingham Forest last month. He anchored a defence that kept the visitors quiet for most of the night and played his part in the clean sheet with eight clearances and two blocked shots. His distribution was just as important, with a season high 54 accurate passes that helped Villa control the game from the back.
Returns from hamstring injury
Torres (hamstring) returned from his injury as a halftime substitute in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy win over Sevilla
Analysis: Torres looks set to end his spell on the sidelines after making his return from a hamstring injury against Nottingham Forest last month. The Spanish centre-back logged 45 minutes in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy fixture, giving him a full half of match action under his belt. Tyrone Mings deputised admirably during his absence, but Torres now has an extended training block ahead to build up his sharpness. He remains in a strong position to reclaim his starting spot in central defense when Premier League action resumes against Brentford.
