The mere fact that he made an appearance at Upton Park has touched the hearts of many Blues fans and Cisse has been swamped by messages of sympathy and support from the club's supporters.
He has rejected suggestions that a minute's silence should be held before the home game against Manchester City on October 26th, but says he doesn't object to fans bringing along Senegal flags instead.
Blues managing director Karren Brady said on the club's official website: "We would like to thank all those supporters who sent the club e-mails and cards for Aliou.
"These were passed onto him and he has asked us to express his gratitude for the kindness that has been shown towards him."
