Get Well Soon Momo

Rick Parry today insisted Momo Sissoko is receiving the best care possible as the Reds wait to discover the extent of the midfielder's eye injury.

Sissoko flew back from Portugal yesterday and is currently being looked after by eye specialists in London.

The Mali midfielder sustained the injury after Beto's boot caught him in the face during the first half of the Reds' Champions League defeat to Benfica.

"We don't want to sound too pessimistic because it's too early to tell. What Momo needs right now is our support and the best care he can get," said Parry today.

"His right eye is closed down and it's been difficult to assess the damage because of the swelling and bleeding.

"However, it's too early to jump to conclusions. Obviously this is a very traumatic time for Momo and the club is in constant contact with his family and representatives. It's a very nasty injury.

"He's now in London being treated by the best specialists in the country."
