Momo : " I'll be back this season ! "

From KopTalk News :
Liverpool midfielder Momo Sissoko insists he will play again this summer despite having a damaged retina.
Rafa has told Sissoko to take a holiday and concentrate on getting better because he knows the young player will be gutted having to take in games from the main stand.
Talking about his injury, Momo said: "It was the scariest moment of my life. The doctor in Lisbon told me there was a serious risk I would lose the vision in my right eye. Suddenly I had all these thoughts swimming around my mind and I asked myself: 'Is this the end of my career?'
"My morale was at rockbottom. I had severe headaches and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't deal with being in a situation where you didn't have any answers. I didn't know if everything in my life was about to crumble.
"As soon as we got back, the club organised a visit to a specialist. He told me the injury wasn't as bad as I had dreaded and that was like a massive weight being lifted from me.
"I saw the surgeon again this week and he's optimistic I will recover normal eyesight but he also says it may never get back up to 100 per cent. Of course, that is not so good but the outlook is better than I first thought.
"It's going to be frustrating for me with the Benfica game coming up but there isn't a lot I can do and there are no plans for an operation. I have to take at least two months off because, although I can open the eye, I am suffering from blurred vision. That will get a little better as each day passes.
"Our manager Rafa Benitez has suggested I go away and have a bit of a holiday because I think he knows how hard it will be for me to hang around the club and not be able to contribute.
"This has all come at such a bad time for me. I feel I have been playing some of my best football and really settling into the English way. But I've promised myself I will play again before the end of May. Maybe the FA Cup or Champions League Final will be the game when I return." -

Might not actually not be good news..
cos when hes not arnd, Rafa starts Alonso and Gerrard in the middle which i tink is Liverpool's strongest pair. -
ALonso and Gerro can't played week in week out ..... against weaker teams , we need to rest some of them , so Momo came in really handy .Originally posted by Qing^.^:Might not actually not be good news.. cos when hes not arnd, Rafa starts Alonso and Gerrard in the middle which i tink is Liverpool's strongest pair.
In some tactically moves , we might need to deploy 5 men across the midfield , so Momo should be the one .
I said before , Momo ... along with Hamann ... is an important member of the first team from the bench .
They might be in the bench , but when call upon , theses two fellas can be really handful .
