France and Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse has voiced his concerns about his place in Les Bleus' World Cup squad for the Finals in Germany this summer.

The 24-year-old French striker has failed to secure a first-team spot at Anfield under Spanish manager Rafa Benitez and has often found himself behind Peter Crouch, Fernando Morientes and even Robbie Fowler in the first-team pecking order.

The former Auxerre forward still believes he has something to offer the French squad but knows that unless he is a regular starter for the European champion’s, he is not guaranteed a place in Raymond Domenech’s squad for Germany.

“Yes, I'm a bit worried. There is always a fear about not being in the squad," Cisse told French newspaper Le Parisien.

“I must not complain, I just need to shut up, work and give my best.”

Liverpool smashed their transfer record when they paid more than £14 million for French ace Djibril Cisse in July 2004.

The record signing striker made an amazing recovery from a broken leg which he suffered in a Premiership match against Blackburn Rovers and returned to action in April 2005, in time to score a vital penalty in the Champions League shoot-out win over AC Milan to help Liverpool lift the European Cup.

Cisse, who is happy at the Merseyside club, has reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool and insists he is settled at Anfield.

“I still have a three-year contract, I feel good here even if I don't play much.

“I get along very well with my team-mates and I have a nice house, a son and I have also got married.”
