Djibril Cisse expects to make his Marseille debut within the next three weeks.

Djibril Cisse expects to make his Marseille debut within the next three weeks.

The striker is recovering from a broken leg he suffered in a World Cup warm-up game for France against China in June.

Since the injury, Cisse has joined Marseille on loan from Liverpool and is closing on his first appearance for the club.

After earmarking a return before Christmas, Cisse admits he is feeling in good shape ahead of his comeback.

"I will be back on December 9 or 16, but I am not 100 percent sure," Cisse told French channel M6.

"I feel good, I don't feel any more pain."

Marseille play Monaco at Stade Velodrome on December 9 before a trip to Nancy the following week.
