Essien out for season

Both the sun and mirror say essien could play a part against stoke! if this is true, it would be a HUGE boost! also the mirror says drogs will be on the bench in an attempt to be fit for liverpool!

That would just about make my day and blue bars around the world shout with excitement - he has been missed

[Clevemayer 764]

for me, hes the best midfielder in the world, fighting, winning the ball, full of running, fast, great accelaration, great passing, and man ha has one of the greatest shooting in his boots...

hope this is true...

Great news, he will bring such a boost to the squad. Also having ash and ivan back as well. Perfect timing lets just hope they are fit enough to last at least 60 minutes.

[zolayes 14,489]

60 minutes of essien = 600 of Ballack

I'm just worried he will be rusty from long term injury, might not play very well.

SKY SPORTS NEWS HAVE JUST SAID HE WONT PLAY AGAIN THIS SEASON FOR Chelsea. MEANS WERE LEFT WITH MIKEL :censored:

[Ollie 4,400]

All that matters is that he gets fit and has a strong pre season and of course it would be nice to see him in the world cup. Next season, with everyone back, i swear to god we'll piss the prem next year.

[Steve 10,227]

Hmmm thats shattering, just read it now

Talk about a tease. I read it before work and even tweeted about it (on twitter.) I check back on my lunch break and it was like a cruel april fools joke.

[Rambo 1,729]

It's only for our own good to rest him up and have a healthy Essien for next season. Horrible luck for him however, having to miss most of the past 2 seasons. I hope he can at least participate in the FA Cup.

That Ghanian Team Manager needs a Fucking Rap for ruining Essien's Season. Essien was Half Fit and he wanted Essien training with the First Team and that Did him in. Fucking CUNT!!

[Jon 18]

It's amazing how much Chelsea miss him. I personally don't rate Mikel AT ALL, but even looking past that -- he's just the linchpin that keeps the Chels running on all cylinders. It'll be GREAT to see him back.

Will he be able to play in the WC, though?

I hope not, he needs to be fresh for the new season, although Ghana will insist.
