Chelsea Lose Bosingwa For Three Months

Filed under: Fantasy Football Team Selection, Injury News - Posted by: Mark

As mentioned by Greek Fan’s tweets earlier, Chelsea have this afternoon confirmed that Jose Bosingwa has had surgery on his knee injury this week. The operation and associated rehabilitation will sideline the right-back for three months according to the Chelsea statement.

This is big news for fantasy managers as it confirms Ivanovic as Ancelotti’s first choice right-back. Belletti and Ferreira provide options but the Serb looks assured of starts ahead of them. Ivanovic is available as a mid-price option across the fantasy games, with a price tag of 5.6 in the Fantasy Premier League game….

Chelsea have Arsenal and City away to come in the next three but Wolves at home next gameweek looks a good bet for an immediate return. Chelsea follow thye City game with an extremely strong run of fixtures (EVE POR whm bir FUL hul SUN BIR bur). Ivanovic would seem likely to start many of those games with Bosingwa sidelined.
