Momo Sissoko is still having problems with his eye more than a year after his career-threatening injury against Benfica.
The midfielder told LFC Magazine he still feels occasional effects of the accidental kick to his face which caused retina damage.

"My eye is okay, but it's not like before," said Sissoko. "I still have a problem, particularly when there is a lot of sunshine.

"Sometimes I get pain and I can't see properly so I have to make sure I wear sunglasses when it is sunny.

"There was a moment against Manchester United when I was stood outside their penalty area waiting for the ball.

"It had been kicked high up in the air and as it came down, the sun caught my eye and I couldn't see the ball properly.

"I lost sight of it for a second and ended up hitting it straight back up in the air when I had time to control it. That was a problem, but it doesn't happen too often."

Many feared the 22-year-old would not play again following the injury – and the man himself admits he is thankful for every game he now plays.
"On the whole, I have to be happy simply because I can play football again.

"I feel I have come a long way from when the first doctor I saw in Portugal told me that was probably it for me and football. I say 'thank you' every day that I am able to play again.

"I did think about it ahead of the Barcelona game. It was a year on since I was injured against Benfica, but I pray all the time. I pray for the future and for every minute while it lasts.

"I suppose I am lucky. But if I think about the injury against some of the misery that exists elsewhere in the world, it doesn't really compare."
