'Pool blow as Cisse out for rest of season

LIVERPOOL striker Djibril Cisse will not play again this season after breaking his leg against Blackburn in what looked an innocuous tangle with Jay McEveley on Saturday.

The 23-year-old France striker was carried off on a stretcher in the 2-2 draw at Ewood Park and yesterday underwent an operation.

Officials at Anfield said surgery on the £14m signing was "successful" but confirmed Cisse will miss the rest of the campaign.
