Kurt Zouma Out For Six Month

Kurt Zouma has been ruled out for six months after scans revealed he suffered cruciate damage on Sunday when the Chelsea defender was stretchered off after his right knee buckled on landing during the second half of a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

A club statement read: “Chelsea Football Club's medical team have diagnosed that Kurt Zouma sustained an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament during yesterday's Premier League game against Manchester United. Kurt will undergo surgery in the next 48 hours and is expected to be out for approximately six months”

Zouma, who has started every game since Guus Hiddink returned to Stamford Bridge, tweeted “I will come back stronger. Thank you everyone for all the messages”. Surgery has already been scheduled after the extent of the injury was discovered
