Kurt Zouma: Torn ACL confirmed
Zouma will undergo surgery this week after suffering a torn ACL during Sunday's match against Manchester United.
Analysis:
The injury looked quite bad in real time and it's no surprise that his season is now over. Zouma was a solid performer for the Chelsea defense since taking on a regular starting role under interim manager Guus Hiddink, and his absence will open up more playing time for Gary Cahill alongside John Terry. Chelsea announced that Zouma is expected to be out for approximately six months, though that seems a bit aggressive.
