What brilliant news for Reds fans. Djibril Cisse may be back early from injury. Rafael Benitez today said that it’s possible that Cisse may have a part to play in the run in for fourth place.

Rafa told liverpoolfc.tv

"Cisse is now training again with the team. He is doing all the warm-ups and he's kicking the ball again," said Benitez.

"I'm very happy with him. He's running well and doing a lot of hard work with the physios with the ball. Yesterday, he completed a full warm-up.

"After talking with my assistant Paco Ayesteran, who controls the fitness coaching, we no longer believe it's impossible he'll play this season.

"We have to listen carefully to the doctors. We know how much Cisse wants to play, but they will decide for us. But because there are still two months of the season left, we think there is enough time for him.

"Djibril is a very positive person and this is why his recovery has been so good," explained Benitez.

"Whenever we talked to him, he was always joking and talking about playing again soon. He was determined to come back and play and this has helped him get better."
