Kurt Zouma

[Thendo 1,088]

 Will miss the Euros as well then, such a shame. Not suprised though...looked really bad.  

[robsblubot 3,508]

Feel awful for him and the club.

this sort of injury takes a heavy toll short term and sometimes another one long term. 

Hope for his career that the latter isn't as heavy.

on one hand he's a CB so not entirely reliant on pace; on the other hand pace is his virtue as a CB.

Chelsea Football Club's medical team have diagnosed that Kurt Zouma sustained an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament during yesterday’s (Sunday) Premier League game against Manchester United.

Kurt will undergo surgery in the next 48 hours and is expected to be out for approximately six months.

Terrible news but hopefully he will come back Azpilicueta-style from ACL injury. Who even knew that the Spaniard had one ? It certainly doesn't look so on the pitch, wish Kurt the same.

That's the knee, not the shin.
Difficult injury.

Terrible news, but I know he will come back stronger than ever and wish him all the best for his recovery, we will miss you for the rest of the season Kurt ?

I hope youre right but Kurt's game is all about pace and power, this is the worst injury he could have got, he might recover this time like Essien did after the first one, but if it happens for a second time it will likely be curtains for his career as a top player.

Diego Costa did his ACL too a few years back. There's hope.

The season from hell claims another one. Christ.

[y10edn 185]

Feel sorry for the young man but always feared for him the way he jumps which in some instance is unnecessary and borderline reckless, he would and should learn from this.

[manpe 10,861]

With this kind of shit I lose all appetite to watch Chelsea this season anymore.

Indeed, yesterday he looked pretty anxious, and his injury wasn't exactly and accident.

[Pizy 18,370]

Hopefully since he's so young he'll be able to regain 100% of his pace and athleticism. Those are obviously his biggest assets and it would be a tremendous shame if this derails his career for too long.

Think we should think about bringing Kalas/Christensen back ,terrible news schoolboy tackle tho

His positioning and high balls timing are bad, he IS relaying on pace and power

That is true, but he is very young and as he matures he will learn better positioning and reading of the game. Natuaral evolution.

Not sure what to say, really. Very sad news. Just hope it doesn't take a toll on his career in the long term....
