Our midfield powerhouse - someone we've badly missed in my opinion - is set to miss the rest of the season after a serious setback in his recovery from knee surgery.
Michael remains on crutches a month after the operation and is recovering in France. Some people may say 'don't worry, our squad is big enough', but I reckon Essien has been badly missed and is one of our best players. Therefore, this update isn't good news.
A club source said: 'The news on Michael's not good. We all thought he'd be back playing again in four to six weeks.
'The second leg of the Champions League match with Inter Milan was talked about as the ideal comeback game.
'But he has no chance of making that now. We're not even sure he'll play again this season. If he does it won't be any time soon.'
