Momo out for derby

Momo Sissoko has been ruled out of Saturday's 205th Merseyside derby. It was hoped Sissoko would have fully recovered from his shoulder injury in time to face Everton but Rafa Benitez today confirmed the Mali international will not be in the squad.

He has not figured in the first team since the Carling Cup tie against Birmingham on 8 November.

A shame, but we should still be ok.

Rafa probably wouldn't have played him anyway though, bit soon to play in such a game after a long lay off.

[Eth]

Its better to make sure he's 100% - he'll wreck Newcastle instead

Yip and with Xabi suspended for that game it'll be even better to have him back.

Exactly, in Xabi's absence it is better that he is back for the Newcastle game rather than this one.

[Shaggy]

Yep, agreed with Eth, Slim and Dhavlos.

Surely we’ll have Masher available for Newcastle too? Then we can pick one of Momo/Masher to start, and have the other one on the bench.

Let's hope so Shaggy lad. It'll give Rafa more "possibilities" and we all know he loves those!

FLMAO @ "Masher"

Masher is good, but El Jefe is better.

[Shaggy]

What does El Jefe mean? The Jaffa? The Jeff? Does Javier translate as Jeff?

[Jack D Rips]

Masher is good, but El Jefe is better.

I prefer " The Masher"

[Red_Polo]

Does Javier translate as Jeff?

I believe Javier is Spanish for 'Harold'.

[Shaggy]

I believe Javier is Spanish for 'Harold'.

For real?

I like Jose Reyes' name in English. Joe King.

[Maestro]

El Jefe is THE BOSS. THE CHIEF.
Suits Momo better, IMO.

By the same token, wouldn't Pepe Reina be Joe Queen.
