Ruptured achiles as was said above. Will undergo operation tonight.

One of the worst injuries for a footballer.

This is a six mo recovery. Prob lost next season too... this sucks...

Board can fuck off. Rumours where that RA and board was angry with Sarri talking about how bad the date for this friendly game was considering our EL final. And then this happens. Cant make this up

What a disaster. Fair enough the game was for a good cause but you need to prioritize things as a club. Having your best players fit when you have a cup final or playing a meaningless friendly (although it was for a good cause raised a lot of cash)....

And the club send a email with the headline friendly was a success.. Erm no! It bloody wasn't in this case

I'm not sure who is conducting the PR at Chelsea right now but they want fucking sacking.

It's like rubbing it in and nothing short of a piss take.

At least RLC is a young, physical beast and had never any problems apart from back problems. I am sure that he will be back to his best after six months.

He might well be but until then, we have a midfield hole to fill...what are we gonna do? Buy someone? Use someone from academy to fill in till then?

I just hope he comes back without any permament issues. Same with Odoi.

What concerns me more than the length of their recovery is Chelsea reaction.

For all we know those two wont get a chance or will get two or three games to show their worth and then we ditch them if they dont perform. 

This season, they established themselves perfectly because other players were out of form. If Pulisic, Kovacic,...+ whoever we buy get their ground running, no manager will bench them for Odoi or RLC which would be a real shame. 

If we buy lets say Ndombele this summer, RLC can pack his bags and leave the club unless he wants to be sub forever.

These injuries came at the most terrible time. Hopefuly board reacts smart and keeps both in the long term picture and by this I mean give them serious trust and game time once they return.

I think this would depend on who the manager is. They've both proven themselves to Sarri now and I think he would be waiting for them with open arms next season.

If it was Lampard or an English based manager, again I don't see an issue as both have enough hype around them on these shores and are both England internationals.

If we brought somebody from abroad in though with limited knowledge of them both, there's every opportunity they start back at square one.
