Fernando Torres returns to the Bernabeu on Saturday full of confidence that he can inspire Spain in their march towards the World Cup Finals.

Striker Torres is one of five Liverpool players in the Spain squad for the double header with Turkey, the first match being on Saturday in Real Madrid's stadium, where Torres shared in the Anfield club's recent Champions League victory.

Spain then travel to Istanbul for the second match on April 1, and Torres said: "I am feeling fit and well now after my recent injury.

"We must not take anything for granted, but I am confident Spain can get the results against Turkey to take us closer to the finals."

Spain head the Group Five qualifying table, with Turkey second. Jose Reina, Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa and Albert Riera are the other Liverpool stars in the squad with Torres.
