Marco van Ginkel

[coolhead23 1,146]

It looked bad when it happened ... brought back memories of my injury ... I just hope and pray it is not a rupture ... Get well, Marco!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

don't want to scare you, but my right back, once, kept on playing for a while, and then finally walked off the pitch, and we thought the same thing. Next morning we'd find out it was indeed cruciate.

Realistically, that's a year-long recovery. Lucas from liverpool returned sooner but only now has been able to reach pre-injury level of performance.

I know many people who tore a cruciate ligament and tried to run around and play after. Obviously they had to stop because the pain was so bad, but it's happened many times

Maybe it differs from one person to another. I said he wouldn't be able to walk because I've had a cruciate ligament injury myself in the past. It wasn't even ruptured and I still couldn't walk on it!

Anyway, wish him a speedy recovery.

He must be really gutted if its a long term injury. Wanted to play a part in his country's WC as well.

Get well soon Beibah !

Bad news for #CFC. Van Ginkel torn cruciate ligament, prob out for season, his agent told Dutch press via @jouracule. World Cup dream over

Feel sorry for the lad.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Looks confirmed now. MRI scan's been done. WC dream's virtually over. terrible news.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

So sad..

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Unlucky lad.

Should have made an impact this year. Hope his long lay off makes him a better footballer.

Look at Ramsey now.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Such a shame for him. Hopefully he'll make a come back with us (as I still hope for Romeu one day)

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Such a shame for him. Hopefully he'll make a come back with us (as I still hope for Romeu one day)

More hope than Valencia have, unfortunately

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Poor dude...

[The Mak 4,459]

Shit...poor lad.

It seems like our DMs knees are cursed: Essien, Romeu and now MVG....

Only means we'll be seeing more of Lampard, which is mainly good news for our opponents. Sigh.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

So sad Feared the worst when it happened, it was almost exactly like what happened to Romeu, very unlucky.

Hasn't he had a long term injury once before as well?

Not good news especially how weak our cm area is grrrrrrr . Hope Ake can play for us or is he at that dutch team if not some other young Cfc can get some 1st team experience and maybe accelerate his career. Chalobah im sure was close to being kept this season thats the luck in football. Hope Van.Ginkel comes back to flourish in Chelsea blue for many years to come!!!

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Gutted for the boy. He's a trooper though, he'll be back soon. I wish him a speedy recovery.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

This is so sad. Especially in such a meaningless game, which we would have won with a donkey in DM. Maybe we should sign or rather recall someone now. I know numerically we have cover esp with Luiz being able to play there, but I'd rather be not forced to play Kalas at times only because Luiz has to play in midfield.

[diskoviolente 425]

SHIT!

Another Oriol situation. That is so cruel on him...
