Twitter rumours that Essien has done his cruciate in his 1st full training session of pre season.

[Shaggy]

Pity

Mind you they'll just go and buy someone now, maybe Moussa Sissoko or summat.

[Chazza]

Probably hold onto Mikel now I heard they were looking to ship him out

Essien out for the season

It's a shame RT @ColinUdoh That's Essien's season done, then. If it's cruciate ligament, it's at least 8 months. Sad

Damn, they might go and buy someone good now.

I do feel for Essien. Such a good player a few years ago, his career ravaged by some serious injuries. Must be utterly depressing for him.

I hope he recovers in time to play us at the end of the season and witness our title parade.

[RichC]

he looked a shadow of what he was when he came back last season, he's going to really struggle to get back to his best after this latest injury.

Essien is a beast of a player, ok he wasnt very good last season but with a full pre+season and under new management he could have been back to his best.

Essien is a beast of a player.

Sure was but he hasnt had a good season for 3 years!

Sure was but he hasnt had a good season for 3 years!

That is because he had a very complicated knee injury. This latest injury could force him to retire.

[Arn]

Moutinho to replace him? That would be the most logical move.
