I think he'll be out for 6 weeks then if Shank's quote diagnosis is correct.

"Sissoko is likely to be back for the Merseyside derby on September 9."
6 weeks?? dont think so."In fact I’m going to make a promise which will be welcomed by many. If there’s no finance secured by the opening day of the season, I’m going to hang up my keyboard and close KOPTALK down." - Duncan Oldham, Expert Conman. March 29th 2006Comment

We'll see. Either the diagnosis is wrong or the prognosis IMO

So if it's a complete tear as the cotton statement suggests then it's 6 weeks or longer, if it's not a complete tear (i.e. Cotton's diagnosis is not accurate) then he may be back sooner.Grade I MCL Tear
This is an incomplete tear of the MCL. The tendon is still in continuity, and the symptoms are usually minimal. Patients usually complain of pain with pressure on the MCL, and may be able to return to their sport very quickly. Most athletes miss 1-2 weeks of play.
Grade II MCL Tear
Grade II injuries are also considered incomplete tears of the MCL. These patients may complain of instability when attempting to cut or pivot. The pain and swelling is more significant, and usually a period of 3-4 weeks of rest is necessary.
Grade III MCL Tear
A grade III injury is a complete tear of the MCL. Patients have significant pain and swelling, and often have difficulty bending the knee. Instability, or giving out, is a common finding with grade III MCL tears. A knee brace or a knee immobilizer is usually needed for comfort, and healing may take 6 weeks or longer.

Looks like we could have him back for the derby, You just know Momo would relish that gameLiverpool have confirmed that Momo Sissoko will be out of action for two weeks with the knee injury he sustained during last night's Champions League qualifier in Kiev.
Sissoko left the stadium on crutches and had a scan on Merseyside today which confirmed the Reds' initial diagnosis.
"Momo had a scan today which showed a tear of the medial ligament in his left knee," said Liverpool spokesman Ian Cotton.
"We do not expect him to be able to play or train for the next two weeks."
Sissoko will definitely miss this weekend's Premiership clash with West Ham United at Anfield but could be back for the derby at Goodison on September 9.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

Why does the Cotton statement suggest a complete tear, if he's saying that they expect him to be out for two weeks? Am I missing something here?Comment

yes, i didnt see him specifies whether it is a tiny tear, half tear or complete tear...."In fact I’m going to make a promise which will be welcomed by many.
