Sissoko operation success for Liverpool

Liverpool have confirmed Mohamed Sissoko’s operation has been a success.

The Mali international sustained a shoulder injury during the recent Carling Cup win at Birmingham City and is expected to be out for some time, yet manager Rafael Benitez has revealed the player underwent a successful operation.

"The doctors said it was very successful, but now we must wait. We know we will be without Momo for some time, but maybe we'll know more in a few days exactly how long it will be,” he told the Liverpool Echo.

With Sissoko out of action, Steven Gerrard is now finally set to be given a central role alongside Xabi Alonso, even though he remained on the right for the defeat at Arsenal last weekend.
