Why isn't Marin playing yet?

Remember, in 2011, this was the kid who ripped Tottenham apart just for laughs. He has bags of potential - let's give him more than 20 minutes before judging him.

[jmarlow 458]

They actually said that he had gotten the week off, and was back in Germany for vacation, and enjoy time off with his family.

I think they said he had the weekend off and was going to Germany for the weekend.

Not sure mate, but something along those lines.

With all my heart I want this guy to make it.Ok he doesn't have 20+ million prise tag next to his name and so what ?It's not always money that brings class, you also need good judgement ask SAF or Wenger about that.Already described as a failure and a player who will never make it here... fuk off you know.

[Rambo 1,729]

Not good enough, was a Gamble signing back in April when we were facing the Europa League...

What are you basing this on? I hardly call it a gamble signing when he costed us below 10 m.

He was doomed by injuries in Germany, and this is what happening now. The guy cant even start a season because he is injured.

[Muzchap 8,966]

He showed enough promise in the pre-season to warrant a run of games.

He also knows how to score, something Hazard could learn

So Marin, Yes he should play ASAP and should always be on the bench if not playing...

[bluephoenix 1,126]

yes ... i don't what the hoopla is about Marin... but at first i wanted Marin because I didn't think Hazard would sign for us ... but hell now both are blue ....

Marin is certainly as good if not better than hazard.... give him some starts already !

[Ollie 4,400]

Is he injured now? He would've been perfect for yesterday's game if he wanted to rest Hazard. He had Oscar as RW which is crazy considering Marin is there. I take it he must still be injured or injured again, whatever.

Yes he is injured again. It was announced on the Pre-match News on the Club's website

Marko Marin remains out for a second game with a minor groin complaint so Roberto Di Matteo picks from the same squad as at Spurs. Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu reports all his players fit and healty.

[ChelseaKid10 35]

Apparently, he is training with the squad tomorrow as he has fully recovered from injury. Just saw that on Facebook. Not sure if its true, if it is it would be brilliant for the squad on Sunday. Could give us that extra bit of width. Not sure if we would bring him in that quick though.

Marko Marin ‏@MM_MarkoMarin

Tomorrow back in training! #chelseafc

[LayZ 201]

I remember RDM saying that he still isn't 100% match fit. There is no need to risk him.

And why don't we wait to actually see him play for us in the PL before deeming him 'not good enough'?

I will wait...I have seen his youtube videos and he doesn't get injured in any of them...

[ja1 1,166]

Because he's not good enough.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Sell him to Arsenal where he will rip us apart in next season and we will be knocking our heads why the fuck we sold him...Sarcasm off.

Just give him play time, then again and again and he will show how good he is. He was a bargain and if he doesnt make it here, fine, but just give him the chance. And fuck of all who dont believe in our players before you even seen them play, just because they came cheap.

[Django 83]

It's amazing how much of a frenzy a few people on here have worked themselves into over this. Hopefully he can stay injury free for a while now and gets a chance from the bench soon.
