Chelsea Thread 16/17

Out for 2-3 months, will probably miss the start of the season and will probably take a bit of time after that to get fit.

Some outlets say 6-8 weeks, others say 3 months. If it the more optimistic estimate, he would be fit for the start the of the season, certainly not match fit as he would miss the entire preseason. If it's 3 months, he would't be back until September, that is before even get to him being match fit, physically and mentally.

Horrible news.

It depends on how much damage has been done to the ligaments and tendons. If it's an impact fracture to the bone with no trauma to the joint itself it's 6-8 weeks, if there's trauma to the ligaments 10-12, tendons 12+ and he won't be 100% for a good while after that.
 
The only real time I want your lot to win, well maybe against the Hammers at times.

True I agree with what you said. Is Costa off 100% ?

Most of us worked on the assumption that he was 100% going. He recently categorically stated that he would not play in China. But he also said that the only club he would leave Chelsea for is Atletico Madrid. In further quotes, he was saying he would be happy to stay as long as he was being "counted on" by the coach, which I take to mean ´"I will stay as long as I remain first choice". Then he went on to advocate for Chelsea to sign Lukaku, which, given the previous sentence, could mean that he wants to leave.

So as you can see, nothing is clear and everything is up in the air. Only thing that is clear is that Chelsea are actively chasing a new striker.

It's a waiting game at this point. He will have a scan, which would reveal the things we need to know. Fingers crossed :)
 
İ expect them sign Bakayoko, Van Dijk, Turan, Lukaku/Belotti maximum. Do not expect them signing any marquee player. So overall we will have better summer than them.

I have heard nothing about Turan coming to Chelsea. I wouldn't want him either. We are actively trying to sign Bakayoko, but also Lyon's Tolisso. I would be happy to sign both. And then VVD and Lukaku/Belotti, both of whom would be marquee signings.
 
Yeah, hopefully it's not too bad, shame to see a quality player get injured.

Yeah. He has been relatively injury free in 5 years. He was bound to suffer an injury like this at some point. I'm just glad it happened the minute the season was over, as 90% of his recovery will happen before the season starts again.
