Has he signed the deal yet? There has to be a bit of doubt given what we are going through.

I doubt he’d go anywhere near signing for us. If if did you’d have to question his mental health.

Yep, he’s proper Chels alright. 

Reading they are confident it isnt serious.

Out of the World Cup apparently.

Left Knee injury.

We haven't even signed him yet and the injury curse has struck.

We need to first make a statement signing so that he gets the whole vision about becoming a star player in the PL.

Otherwise he might just think that he'll have no help here and might as well go somewhere else.

Crazy they are going this hard in training just days out. Heard the Brazilian camp was hectic too.

Not even here yet and already suffering the injury curse.

Probably best conaider your next career move wisely Christopher...

He must be clinging to the agreement like a man dangling on the edge of the cliff

I genuinely have no idea what that tweet even means.

So he’ll miss the World Cup, big deal. Also wouldn’t be the first injured player we signed, Chilwell and Fofana when fit did good for us.

What has Fofana done for us so far?

Our issue is too many players we rely on get injured too frequently, sure lets sign more!

lets not forget Arjen Robben either!

Hopefully not a bad injury - we've an unfortunate record recently.  Agree on the Robben, Chilwell and Fofana (more to come) comments though.  We need more that, less Laudrup/Stanic.

Nkunku worries me though - refuses to sign for me on Football Manager, not a good sign!

And the moment they show some really good form, they get injured. 

 

Think he suffered the same injury as James. Some lesion, won't need surgery just rehab. These tendons with small ruptures can heal themselves.

With Reece it's always when he's touching "fullback Mbappe" levels aswell, so annoying.

Out 2.5 months with ruptured knee ligament. 
 

 

Are we committed to buying him ?

We are actually cursed it would seem. Even players we haven't bought yet are picking up long term injuries.

so he won't even be around until February and even then he may not return as the same player

Tough for him and in turn for us in finding a new target if we're backing off...

Thankfully, it’s only an LCL rupture.

Unlike ACL or PCL tears, LCL ruptures have little long lasting effects given there is no meniscus or interior knee damage. 
 

 

Very unfortunate. He’d be in great company at Chelsea!

I know nothing about LCLs, but initial reports leave room for optimism.
