SISSOKO SET TO RETURN TO SQUAD

Paul Eaton 21 March 2006

Momo Sissoko could make a sensational return to first team action tonight - just four weeks after picking up an eye injury which threatened to ruin his career.

The Mali midfielder has made an incredible recovery from the serious retinal injury picked up in Portugal last month when Benfica midfielder Beto accidentally kicked him in the eye.

 

There were fears at the time that Sissoko's career could be over and even that he may never see again out of his right eye.

 

But after resuming training with his team-mates last week Sissoko, who will wear a protective eye shield as he continues his recovery, is now ready to return to action.

 

"I think he'll be in the squad," said manager Rafael Benitez. "I don't know if he can play yet but we've been trying all different types of glasses to protect the eye and we'll have to see."

 

 

Wow good to see the lad back so quickly its great news even if he doesnt play

[Benitez]

I want to see what sort of glasses he has

[Guest Sabre]

[Stevie H]

I don't mind admitting I'll be shedding a sly tear when I next see Momo step out in a red shirt. Brilliant, brilliant news.

Man up

[Elisha_Scott]

Never mind just being in the squad, Momo will start, so will Riise.

[KD07]

We sticking to the F-L-U-I-D formation Elisha?

[Elisha_Scott]

We sticking to the F-L-U-I-D formation Elisha?

 

Nope

[Leo No.8]

As soon as I saw Rafa say in the media 'we may well stick with the same formation from Newcastle' I thought 'my a*** you will you sly old dog Rafa'...

 

[David Hodgson]

Nope

 

Back to 4-4-2 does that mean ?

 

Tell me if this is correct ?

 

--------------------------Reina

 

Finnan---------Hyypia-------------Carra---------Riise

 

 

Gerrard............Momo............Alonso..................Kewell

 

 

.....................Cisse--------Morientes

 

 

 

The only doubts I have on that would be Kewell possibly rested, with Garcia coming in, or Riise pushed into midfield. Also possibly Crouch for Cisse.

[Montse]

Momo's starting superb stuff! Big cheer for him tonight in his trendy hard man specs

Good effort, swap Cisse for the big fella though.
