Cisse in French squad

Cisse has been in excellent form since returning from the broken leg he sustained playing in a pre-World Cup friendly for France against China and has been rewarded with a place in the French squad for the friendly with Argentina next week.

A return to international level will be a boost for Cisse and also makes it likely Marseille will sign the player from Liverpool on a permanent move at the end of the season. Liverpool will be looking to get around £8m for the striker.
