Sadly the outcome many of us feared. Hopefully he'll get good physical and mental support.
It would be wise to go after Benatia. We can't take it as a given that Kos will come back with no lingering effects and we're one more injury at CB away from a full blown crisis where we're possibly playing Monreal or Kolasinac back there.Rob Holding: Of players aged 23 and under, only Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (67.7) is making more passes per game than Holding (61.4) in the Premier League this season (5+ apps)
He was very important for our build-up. Will we make a move in January or will Koscielny and Mavropanos be enough ?

Professional athletes usually come back within 6 to 9 months( usually closer to 9) and they’ll operate pretty soon so he should be back for the start of next season unless there are setbacks.
Gutted for him, just when he was getting a chance regurlarly as a starter.
I haven't watched enough of him in recent years to know how comfortable he is on the ball. I'll trust whatever Sven and Emery come up with as a solution. Definitely a possibility though.Could someone like Gary Cahill be a short term solution? Contract up at the end of the season and I'm sure Chelsea would be happy to let him go earlier. Comfortable in a back three.
Yeah that could be an option. Chambers is an even better passer than Holding.Unless we recall Chambers, though he is playing in midfield atm
Please no. He's 33, error prone and past it. Chelsea fans absolutely hated him when he was a regular starter.Could someone like Gary Cahill be a short term solution? Contract up at the end of the season and I'm sure Chelsea would be happy to let him go earlier. Comfortable in a back three.
What a shame was having a great start to the season. Hopefully he can come back stronger.
