FRENCH striker Djibril Cisse has praised the expert medical treatment he received at Ewood Park after the horrific injury which wrecked his first season at Liverpool.

Cisse was carried off with a double fracture of his leg after a tackle in the Barclays Premiership match at Blackburn on October 30 - and will not play again this season.

Cisse said: "If they had waited until I had got to the hospital I might have lost my leg, it was that serious."
