Rafael Benitez today revealed Djibril Cisse's dream of playing again this season may come true after all.
The French ace revealed his dream of playing a part in the Champions League final if the Reds reach Istanbul in late May.
Despite acknowledging those comments were made more in hope than expectation, Cisse will be boosted today by news that his manager now also feels he could yet have a part to play in the conclusion to the Reds' campaign.
"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.
"Djibril is a very positive person and this is why his recovery has been so good," explained Benitez.
