Torres was initially expected to make his debut with La Rossoneri against Parma on Sunday, but the pain from an apparent collision with Adil Rami was too much for the Spaniard to overcome.
The team will assess the injury to determine whether he's fit for Milan's critical encounter with Juventus on Sept. 20.
