the wes 7,212 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Michael Essien is set to give Chelsea a major boost by retur ning to action early in the new year. Blues midfielder Essien, 25, had surgery in France on Thursday and had been expected to be side lined until mid-February. But the Ghanian, who ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament on international duty, is confident of making a speedier recovery.The people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riks12 3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 But he was expected to be out for 6 months. I have noticed that most of time the first expected return date is much later than it actually appears to be. For example Ronaldo and Eduardo injuries. Hopefully Essien is back in action for mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Surely it is too early to tell if he will back early or not, he has only just had the operation. Lets hope he does make it back ahead of schedule though because we will need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo814 1 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If he is healed up great, but an ACL isn't something to rush. If he needs the rest let him take it I say. I'd rather have him gone and be 100% next season than have him playing at 75% and re-injure it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
