CISSE LEG SURGERY A SUCCESS
Djibril Cisse could be back playing in a Liverpool shirt by early November. The surgeon who operated on the reds striker declared the operation a complete success.
Mark Waller, the Liverpool club Doctor said: "The latest news we've had is extremely positive. He's had the operation done and everything has gone in a very straightforward fashion.
"The fracture has been repaired with some metalwork in his leg in a similar way to what he had when he broke the other leg in 2004. This fracture is not as severe as the previous one.
"The last time he broke his leg, it took him just 164 days to recover completely - which was just over five months - but this time we're expecting him to recover even quicker. When we talk about him being back, we mean back playing first team football.
"He'll be flying back to England on Monday and we would expect to see him back training at Melwood in around four months. His recovery last time was so quick because Djibril himself remained positive and worked really hard and obviously he had appropriate management throughout the recovery process.
"Knowing Djibril, he'll show the same willingness to fight back from this new injury and I wouldn't be surprised to seeing him playing as early as November."
Rafa Benitez was looking to offload the French striker, who himself wanted a move to France. The effects on Liverpool's summer transfers will no doubt be significant.
