The player has made no appearances since breaking his leg earlier in the year, but finally got back in action last night.

Scoring against fourth division side Martiges, Cisse impressed with his pace and effort.

Albert Emon, Marseille boss, said he was happy with Cisse, but understoof patience was the key.

"We have to be patient with Djibril but his performance was encouraging. He asked for the ball a number of times, kept the ball a little, had a couple of shots. I think he needs that kind of game to be in the best mental state for the future," he said. 

The player will meet his surgeon today to discover whether he will be eligible for first team action.
