Djibril Cisse is aiming to return to competitive action by September as he continues his recovery from a broken leg.

Cisse's World Cup dreams were ruined when he sustained the injury during his country's final warm-up match against China, but the Liverpool striker insists he's remained in good spirits as he battles to regain full fitness as soon as possible.

Cisse's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with Marseille reportedly still interested in signing him on loan.

But for now he is just concentrating on getting back to full fitness.
