Sami Hyypia has backed the French striker and believes the fact that he's practically an unkown force to AC Milan can work in Liverpool's favour.
"The gaffer has a good problem for the final now. Djibril has been very lively since he came back and his two goals were very good," said Hyypia.
"As a centre-half, you never like to play against pace and he's shown with his speed he's always a threat. If we can learn to use him even better than we do at the moment, he could be even more effective for us.
"He's an unknown quantity to many of us as much as AC Milan, and that can be to our advantage. Everyone wants to play in the final. It's not going to be easy, so we need players like Djibril who are very fresh and haven't had many games this season. He has a great opportunity to show what he can do.
"It says a lot about his character to come back from such an injury. He's also had great treatment. You can see he's an athlete and that helped his recovery. He may have lost some strength in his leg but he's got it back.
"I've never experienced a long term injury so I don't know how it feels, but it must be devastating to see your team-mates playing and training while you're in the gym. All credit to him.
"It would be a fairytale if he scored in the final. Now we have 8 days to prepare to get everyone in the right frame of mind."
