The Ghana Football Association want to get their team together for a two week preparation period before the African Nations Cup begins in January, and are not willing to take Chelsea’s word on the injury to their star player, Michael Essien.
The other clubs in the Premiership are hoping that Chelsea will be seriously affected in January when the African Nations Cup is being staged, but if you look at the facts it would seem to be wishful thinking.
The Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been named alongside midfielder Michael Essien in the top five players from Africa in 2009.
The Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has told the press that he will be making changes for tonights game against Porto.
The Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien Was extremely pleased with his two goals against Wolves as Chelsea won a record 12 home games in row, and enjoyed the freedom given to him in the absence of Frank Lampard. He says the easy win was the perfect confidsence booster ahead of next weeks game against Arsenal at the Emirates.
Michael Essien and his Ghana team have become the first team from Africa to qualify for the World Cup Finals in South Africa next summer by winning their fourth game in a row. They beat Sudan 2-0 with Essien and Muntari scoring the goals.
The Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was “very happy” to see his team record their fourth win of the season to retain their 100% start, and saw them climb to the top of the Premier League on goal difference over Tottenham.
The Evening Standard was forced to print a grovelling apology to John Terry and Chelsea football club over the slanderous article they printed earlier this month about Salomon Kalou’s birthday party.
No matter that Carlo Ancelotti has said that there won’t be any more arrivals this summer, and no matter that Bayern Munich have said that Jose Bosingwa will not be joining them, the Sunday papers continue to make up stories to fill there pages!
The Chelsea and Ghana midfielder is feeling good that Carlo Ancelotti has taken over at Stamford Bridge, and believes that he will lead the club to the Holy Grail of the Champions League trophy. Chelsea have come so close in the last six years but Essien that they now need to go that little bit further this season.
