Cissé not expecting Milan start
Djibril Cissé says he is not expecting to start the Champions’ League Final against Milan next week, despite scoring twice for Liverpool on Sunday.
The fit-again France international replaced an out-of-touch Milan Baros in the starting XI against Aston Villa and seized his chance by netting both goals in the 2-1 win.
But he insisted he is not yet fully fit after returning from a double leg fracture last month.
"I’m not thinking about starting against Milan," said the former Auxerre striker. "That’s a decision for the Coach to make.
"I feel good but I am only playing at 70 or 80 percent of my top form," he added.
Coach Rafael Benitez said he would consider playing the 23-year-old from the start.
"Djibril’s performance against Villa has given me more options. I could start with him, or Baros, or play with two strikers," said the Spaniard.
