Cisse hoping Garcia makes cup final

Last updated : 28 April 2006 By Al Campbell
With Luis Garcia facing a suspension that will rule him out of the FA Cup final, Djibril Cisse could earn himself a place in the cup final side. However, Cisse hopes Liverpool's appeal against Garcia's red card is successful even though that would see him miss out on a place in the starting line up.

"If Luis is suspended in the final, it might increase my chances of playing but that is not what I am thinking about at the moment. I really hope he is able to play in the final," he said.
 
"I thought the sending off was harsh. I think two yellows [one for Garcia and one for Mullins] and a warning would have been enough. I hope something can happen because he is a good guy.
 
"He was so down in the dressing room after the game. We tried to lift him. That is what team-mates must do in bad times."
