Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma out for six months

Kurt Zouma was stretchered off after landing awkwardly on his right leg during Chelsea‘s Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

Following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United, Terry stated there are no ongoing discussions between himself and Chelsea.

A £12 million (RM72.405 million) signing from Saint-Etienne in January 2014, Zouma has dislodged Cahill from Chelsea’s starting XI this season, starting 21 of the club’s 25 Premier League games.

Chelsea supporters made their feelings clear to the onlooking owner Roman Abramovich at Stamford Bridge, singing “sign him up” repeatedly, while the usual fan banners at either end of the ground were peeled back so one remained.

Azpilicueta added: “Gary is one of the veterans of the team”.

Asked about Zouma after the final whistle on Sky Sports, Hiddink replied: “Tomorrow we know more, but if you have this injury – and everyone has seen how it is – hyper-extension is always bad”. The club’s the most important thing.

“We need everybody, we have big games coming up and all of us have to be ready”.

The Blues maintain a contract offer could yet be tabled to Terry, who is set to make his 699th Chelsea appearance against the Magpies.

And they came armed with plenty of banners supporting Terry while some even slammed the club for not offering him an extension.

“Diego is a very important player for our team”, Matic told Chelsea TV.

Terry might have capped the afternoon with a goal but for a block by Daley Blind, with the game goalless, late in the first half.
