Djibril Cisse has revealed he is well on the road to recovery after the horrific broken leg injury which has wrecked his season.
Cisse is definitely sidelined for the rest of this campaign after breaking his leg in two places at Blackburn in October, but he says he's happy with his recovery so far and is looking forward to stepping up his rehabilitation programme over the coming weeks.
He said: "I can walk now without crutches. I can do more exercises with more weights. I can do squats with a lot of weight. I'm doing the bike every day but I can't run for the moment.
"Maybe in one month I can do that. It's getting better. It's good. It depends on how I feel after I start running. I might say one month but maybe it will be two months or two weeks."
Cisse has been a regular at Anfield since his injury struck and he admits he's started to enjoy supporting the team from the stands.
"It's very difficult when I see them play," he said. "Now it's okay but before it was hard. I enjoyed it but it was frustrating for me.
"I have missed a lot of big games, like Manchester and Chelsea, but I've been like a fan. I support my team."
Does anyone know how he is really doing? I believe this article, but it could just be lfc.tv's way of adding to the euphoria.
Mourinho was customizing his flashy blue racing car -- applying the finishing touches of go-faster stripes, aerodynamic spoilers and a fat f@ck you exhaust -- while on his red car, Benitez was trying to glue together a broken chassis, repair bodywork and replace burst tyres.
