Essien out with Injury


Ghanaian international and Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien tore his ACL and is out for the majority of the English Premier League season. The 'Bison' suffered the injury in World Cup qualifying loss to Libya. Essien has shown his value to the Blues ever since his arrival from Lyon and Chelsea will miss him even more now that Claude Makalele has moved on to PSG. The absence of Essien will effectively give the holding role to Mikel Obi and give the young Nigerian an opportunity to keep impressing Chelsea boss "Big" Phil Scolari. We wish Michael Essien the best in his recovery and hope to see him on the green grass for Chelsea and Ghana in no time.
