Looks like a knee injury last game, could be out for 3-4 weeks which would rule him out for the rest of our domestic campaign.

Could be back for CL though. 

Oh dear .. our midfielders are going down like flies ... someone wrap Jorginho, Mount, Barkley and RLC in cotton wool please !!!

Why do we get so many injuries now

Thank god kovacic is back, hope we billy again before the season ends though. 

Yeah he was injured early in the game and it was pointed out in the commentary. He was moving very awkwardly for quite a while. Fair play to him for carrying on and in hindsight it wasn’t a bad performance then.

Shame about his injury, really wanted him to feature in more games this season

☹️

 

The boss is here and starts with some injury news: 'Billy Gilmour has had an operation on his knee this morning and we estimate he'll be out for somewhere between three and four months unfortunately. We're all disappointed but I've spoken to him and he's a tough lad.'

Bloody hell, he's out longer than I had expected  

Too many injuries this season, is it just one of those things or is there more to it?

Sad sad news. Speedy recovery to poor Billy. This takes his development back at least 6 months. 

For f*cks sake another injury. Sick of it now, get well soon Billy. Hope he comes back raring to go.

Ah sh*te, thats gutting for us, him and Frank. If it wasnt for bad luck we wouldnt have any at all when it comes to injuries this season.

What a pisser, poor lad. 

I didn't even notice he was injured. 

Our academy players seem to be picking up serious injuries. That is Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek, James, Tomori and Gilmour in one year.

So much pressure on their young bodies...

To be fair he doesn’t look like he should be in double figures!

GILMOUR NAMED CHELSEA ACADEMY PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Well done, Billy!

Billy GOAT

Can’t help but feel abit underwhelmed by Billy’s performances towards the end of the season. I felt Joringho was unfairly ditched and Billy wasn’t really offering too much. He had 2 exceptional games against Liverpool and Everton but apart from that, didn’t really do a lot.

I'm not sure how much consistency can be expected from a teenager (not counting consistently crap of course  ). He has shown what he is capable of, but it's hard to stay at a high level. He'll have to work very hard again after recovering from his injury to get significant playing time.

Can't wait to see him playing again...
