Oriol Romeu

Fuck Cruciate Ligament is bad - luckily he is young, but that going so early in his career is a massive blow...

Dam hope he gets some good Xmas presents to cheer him up!!!

Poor kid. Wish him the best for a recovery, speedy preferably.

[Superblue 6,331]

Really disappointing as Rafa seemed to like him a lot.

Have Real Madrid cut short Essien's loan? If so I would register him in January if fit as an extra body in the squad. We'll still need another midfielder though.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Such a shame. Luiz will fill the spot at DM for now i reckon, but we defo need to add a midfielder in January.

Yeah, probably. IIRC, Rafa moved Luiz up to the DM position in the second half against Nordsjaelland.

[zolayes 14,489]

I read it wasn't serious

[Madmax 9,219]

Wait for official confirmation, guys.

Selling Meireles and loaning Essien when we were already weak in that position, smh.

ROMEU RULED OUT FOR SIX MONTHS

Posted on: Tue 11 Dec 2012

Oriol Romeu underwent anterior cruciate reconstruction surgery and medial meniscus repair yesterday (Monday). He is expected to be out for six months.

The 21-year-old midfielder suffered the knee injury during the first half of the match at Sunderland on Saturday and returned to London for assessment instead of flying to Japan.

He has played nine games this season and 33 overall since joining in the summer of 2011.

From chelseafc!

My biggest concern after we got rid of our midfielders (for unexplained reason) has come to pass. If we're looking at getting another midfielder in the January transfer window in a timely fashion (i.e. while Mikel is at the ACoN) we're going to be force to pay a premium, which is unfortunate. I guess we have a few options to recall players currently out on loan...

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

6 fucking months? There is no question now. A DM becomes as important as a ST.

[underdrog 18]

just curious but what kind of injury effectively made Essien kind of shit - was that as well cruciate ligament ?

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Just wow... His chelsea carrer may be ruined bcos we might go get a new DM this january. Best of luck romeu.

[Clevemayer 764]

WTF, gutted, hope it isn't career destroying like with Essien, this is an awfull injury and he is very young and had glimpses of an classy player... this is really bad, bad knews to me.

[Rambo 1,729]

6 Months?!!!! Feel bad for the kid, this year was his chance.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Yep. Hopefully it won't be so devastating to Oriol because he is younger.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,142]

6 months?!

:cry: fell so sorry for him, poor oriol ... hopefully he'll have a speedy recovery.

[Yeboii 1,844]

His career might just be over, he has the same injury that essien got(i think). What the fuck happened? Does anyone have a video of how he got injured?

[Wfisheruk 20]

Now that romeu is out can we recall essien in jan or is it a one year loan with no recall??
