Kurt Zouma's serious knee injury is a bitter blow to an outstanding
young player, ruling him out of the rest of this season and France's
Euro 2016 bid.
It may, however, open the door to fresh
possibilities for his two experienced central defensive team-mates at
Chelsea, John Terry and Gary Cahill.
Terry reiterated on Sunday
that he has had no dialogue with Chelsea since he left the club's
hierarchy bemused by announcing he was not getting a new contract and
would leave at the end of the season.
Will
Chelsea now be tempted to revisit negotiations to buy time and see how
Zouma recovers - or is owner Roman Abramovich's mind made up and it is
the end of the road for the 35-year-old iconic club captain?
Cahill, meanwhile, was reported as being unsettled in January after falling behind Zouma and seeing his own Euro 2016 prospects being hit by a lack of first-team football.
He
will now be right back in the frame, ready to secure his Chelsea future
and cement his place in England's plans for France this summer.
