Chelsea Duo Will Recover Before New Season Starts

Ray WilkinsYes, Chelsea duo Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel are going to recover from injuries just before the new season begins in middle of August. Ray Wilkins confirmed that the two will most likely recover from injuries just before the start of the new season.

The assistant coach explained that the way the rehabilitation of the two is going can be considered pleasing. The two were forced to not be a part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa.

Essien and Mikel missed the finals due to knee injuries. A lot of fans were saddened by the two obtaining knee injuries and then missing the very significant finals. But then, they must be just glad to hear Wilkins talking about how the rehabilitation of the two is going and the great possibility of the two recovering from injuries in time for the beginning of the new season.

Wilkins explained: “There should be no problem whatsoever. Mikel is slightly in advance of Michael Essien but they’re both working very well indeed. They’ve been working double sessions for the last week and we’ll get them really firing before the season starts.”

And in addition the assistant coach said: “Normally, after a World Cup, you find with those players who come back from the tournament, they hit a wall at about December time. It’s very important we manage them in the correct manner and we get them to a level where they won’t be as fit as we want them to be but, as they creep into the New Year, their fitness will come back. We also have to get the players we’ve got here training now into the right fitness condition so that they’re prepared to play, because we might not be able to use the guys coming back from the World Cup for the first couple of games.”
