FOOTBALL 2007-2008 Premier League Liverpool Sissoko - 0

French-born Mali international Sissoko, 22, only signed a new deal at Anfield in June but has found himself in and out of the team, culminating in Rafa Benitez' decision to drop him for the must-win match, which will be played in his homeland.

"I am really mad," he told Radio Monte Carlo. "The match will played in France, all my family is there and wanted to see me on the pitch.

"I respect that choice, but we will talk in January.

"That is quite a long time for me to ask myself the question [about leaving]. I am not attracted by playing one match in five."

Sissoko joined from Valencia in 2005 and, when fit, has featured regularly for Liverpool.
