Djibril Cisse is confident he will recover from the horrific broken leg he sustained against Blackburn Rovers.

The Liverpool striker is remaining positive and focused on a return to action in 2005.

"I never thought of ending my career," he told L'Equipe.

"Not for a tibia-fibula fracture.

"Even if it is the worst injury of my career, it is obvious. I just wanted not to have an ankle or knee trouble and the doctors confirmed they were safe.

"In my misfortune, I am a little lucky.

"It is not like if I would have nothing, but almost.

"Now I am fine in my state of mind.

"To me, it is not a stop, just a break.

"And we will start again next year.

"I know that. I am very confident."
