Chelsea’s José Bosingwa is to be sidelined for at least 3 weeks according to a club statement.
The new signing pulled up early on in the friendly against Guangzhou on Wednesday with what appeared to be a muscle injury. A scan on Friday has now revealed the injury as a small tear in the thigh muscle.
Bosingwa returned to the UK today to continue his recovery with the club stating that they “hoped he could be back in action in three weeks”.
Chelsea are due to take on Lokomotiv Moscow on Tuesday with Paulo Ferreira now favourite to start at right-back. Indeed he looks to be in the box seat for the role for Chelsea’s openers against Portsmouth and Wigan when the season kicks-off.
