AC Milan striker Fernando Torres will not make his debut for the Serie A giants against Parma later Sunday due to an ankle injury, according to reports.

Torres was expected to start on the bench for Filippo Inzaghi’s side but has failed a fitness test after suffering an ankle knock in training on Saturday, according to the website of La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report said Milan’s medical staff had given Torres a fitness test on Sunday but later ruled he was not fit to play. He is expected to watch from the stands.

Milan can join champions Juventus and Roma, last season’s runners-up, at the top of the table if they claim their second win of the season at the Ennio Tardini stadium.
