The striker has been experiencing pain in the knee for several weeks, but had hoped to manage the problem through to the end of the season and the World Cup this summer.
A Liverpool spokesman said: "It was decided that he would need surgery on a torn cartilage in his right knee.
"This will be carried out later on Sunday and, as a guide, the usual rehabilitation period for this type of procedure is around six weeks."
Torres has been a key performer for Liverpool, scoring 22 goals in all competitions despite a constant struggle with injuries.
He is now a serious doubt for the World Cup with Spain's opening game against Switzerland on 16 June.
Torres will definitely miss out on a Europa League semi-final return to his old club Atletico Madrid, who sold him to Liverpool in 2007. -
