12.04.2005 - Cisse ready for Reds return
Djibril Cisse is in line to make a shock return to the Liverpool squad against Juventus tomorrow night.
Liverpool's record signing has been out of action since the horrific injury he suffered at Blackburn in October.
But having made a full recovery, Cisse will be in the squad for Liverpool's Champions League match away to Juventus tomorrow, when the Reds will be aiming to qualify for the last four of Europe's top club competition for the first time in 20 years.
With Fernando Morientes cup-tied, and youngesters Neil Mellor Florent Sinama Pongolle both our injured, Cisse will be called upon to give Benitez more options in attack.
However, Cisse is unlikely to be handed a start, as Milan Baros should return to the side, as his current three match ban, picked up due to his red card in the Merseyside derby last month, only applies to domestic games.
