"French striker Djibril Cisse has revealed he could have lost his left leg in the aftermath of the horrific injury which wrecked his first season at Liverpool.
Cisse, in an interview with club magazine LFC, said: 'When I was taken from the field, what they did next was so important for my career, what they did in those first few moments was vital.
'My bone were overlapping and I had no circulation in my foot.'
And the 23-year-old insists: 'They had to give me drugs to help with the pain and then they had to pull my bones back into place with their hands.
'If they had waited until I had got to the hospital I might have lost my leg, it was that serious.'"
Now that is really scary.

Luckily the operation to remove the ball from his forehead also proved a success.
