Bruce: Cisse wants to play again

Last updated : 25 October 2002 By Brian Cartlidge
Cisse has been in training with his Blues team-mates at Wast Hills this week and is ready to return to action in Saturday's Premiership clash with Manchester City at St.Andrew's after being ruled out of last weeks game with West Brom through suspension.

Bruce said: "He's been through such a tragedy. To lose 11 relatives in one go is horrific and we've done our best to help him every way we can.

"It took a lot to do what he did at West Ham but that shows the character he is and he would have demanded to play at West Brom if he hadn't been suspended.

"He wants to play again and I think he wanted to be back in our environment again and to get on with things. He's shown such great courage."
