Looks like Cisse's broken his leg (scores inside)

super_furry · 2004-10-30 17:00:36

Had his ankle taken and fell very awkwardly - the bone was sticking through his sock according to the Liverpoolfc.tv commentary. Leaves us right in the **** with strikers now - just Baros and Pongolle until January. What the **** is it with Ewood Park and broken Liverpool legs?

Listening to the Blackburn - Liverpool game its something of a disaster for Pool, we are now 2-1 down but more important it looks like Cisse has broken a leg. He's been rushed off to hospital. Pool are at sixes and sevens.

Bad luck on the injury front for Liverpool and it will be a few months before they can bring anyone in . Baros will have to be given a chance now but he has never produced his euro 2004 in the liverpool shirt to date.

Just Baros and Pongolle until January.

Not even that, Pongolle is also injured (in the Millwall game), so Mellor may have to fill in. I'd bet Rafa would sooner play Baros up front off Luis Garcia.

In fairness, I think that's the way he likes to play football but for whatever reason, hasn't done so at Anfield thus far. Shame we've been forced into it though. Just saw the replay there and is truly horrific, I dare say his season's over.

Yes! 2-2 Baros with a love breakaway goal. Kewell on for Finnan - we're going for it.

Well at least Liverpool arent boring anymore Couyld have so easily won it at the end as well as lost it. 2-2 was a fair result. Hyppia had a very poor game and so did Didi. Garcia looked lively despite his long travel he last 2 days with his wife giving birth. Have to admit when Blackburn had the header off the line by Garcia I nearly gave birth!

Shame about Cisse, he will be out for a while.

Just watched the whole match there..

The game started at a crazy pace with Liverpool gaining the lead in the first ten minutes that they pretty much dominated. The Blackburn seemed to step it up a level for the rest of the game and matched, if not out played Liverpool for large periods.

Statistically, Liverpool had more oppurtunities on goal, both attempts and on target, but Blackburn probably had the better chances.

Overall it was a very exciting game but you gotta wonder what is the story with Blackburn and broken legs? It was a pretty harmless foul (that was not given incidently) but you could see as Cisse fell, the bottom portion of his leg was not falling in the same direction.. The expression on his face said it all, extremely painful looking.

Think you have to point the finger at Josemi for both of the goals - he just went missing. Think it's time to drop him.

poor result really. the 2 goals we gave away where very poor. Josemi was woeful, he should of been brought of instead on finnan. kewell was poor when he came on aswell. he seems really unfir or disinterested whenever hes playing. Hyppia was showing his age aswell, dont think hes quick enough anymore

draw was a fair enough result over the 90 minutes, but really should be beating those teams if we want a top 4 place.

Dear that looks very very nasty. Liverpool have been very unlucky with serious injuries I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery unlikely as that may seem looking at those images..

Comminuted fracture: A fracture in which bone is broken, splintered or crushed into a number of pieces.

Sounds very nasty. Going for surgery to put a pin in.

Looks like we will be buying a striker in janurary. With the smallest squad in the Priemership and now only 3 reconginsed strikers (Baros, Pongolle , Mellor) Pongolle is injuried at present also put its only a few weeks.

Whatever about strikers and one was needed anyways, we need a couple of defenders!

I'd be more inclined to blame Hyppia for both. Especially the second.

Poor aul Cisse. I almost had tears in my eyes when I saw the pictures on MotD. Nasty business.

Really gruesome stuff, my heart goes out to the guy. Hope he can make a fast recovery, he may never be the same player after this injury though.

Feel so sorry for him. Missing nearly a whole season out of maybe 13-15 you'll play in your career is bad. The possibility of him never being able to play to the same standard again is just heartbreaking.

Urghg, hate seeing those events, I shudder to think what kind of pain he was in. It was nearly as bad as Beano McDonald's one for Laois during the summer.

Presumably Liverpool would have their investment in him insured for occasions such as this?

Before everyone get's too down about Cisses nasty accident I seem to remember Henrik Larsson getting the same type of injury in a match several years ago and he came back just as good (if not better?).

MotD were reporting last night that he has a double break — both tibia and fibula.

From the official LFC site:

Djibril Cisse is unlikely to play again this season after suffering a broken leg during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Blackburn.
The French striker was taken to hospital in Blackburn where X-Rays revealed the extent of the injury.

Liverpool FC Head of Press Ian Cotton said: "Our club doctor Mark Waller has confirmed that Djibril Cisse suffered a comminuted fracture of the tibia and fracture of the fibula in his left leg.

"Djibril will undergo surgery on Sunday morning to insert a pin in the tibia. Unfortunately he is unlikely to play again this season and everybody at the club wishes him the speediest of recoveries."
