Cisse has toe ligament damage, while Matejovsky has not played since coming off against Nottingham Forest.

The French midfielder is confident of a return but Matejovsky may be out of action a while longer.

Cisse told the club's official website: "The injury is getting better, I just need more treatment and I should be back in training in the next few days I hope."

Matejovsky, who is suffering from an ankle injury, added: "There's no pain anymore and the ligament didn't break, it was something inside.

"I've been working every day for three weeks in the gym, doing balance work and so on, I feel very good. I will need two or three weeks of training before I am ready."
