DJIBRIL CISSE has been dropped from Liverpool's squad for tonight's match at Sunderland.
And the decision looks to be a punishment for his reaction to being substituted at Manchester City on Saturday.
The French striker was not with the travelling party which left for Sunderland yesterday - and he is not injured.
Cisse reacted badly to being substituted at the City of Manchester Stadium soon after half-time. He pulled faces as he left the pitch and made gestures as he took his place in the dug-out behind Benitez.
And boss Rafa Benitez made it clear in his pre-match address yesterday that he would not tolerate players questioning his judgement.
Despite insisting he had no problems with Cisse, he issued a thinly veiled warning to any temperamental players when he declared: "I must make decisions because I am the manager. I decide who is the best player for each game, and sometimes I need to change a player during a match. I decide."
Cisse seems to have paid the price for his behaviour - and Benitez's decision must also cast doubt on the player's future at Anfield.
Marseille want to sign the striker in the January transfer window, and if they make an appealing enough offer Benitez could be tempted.

Looks like Cisse is on his way.
Good luck to him wherever he ends up cuz I think the horrendous leg break incident literally ended his career.
