Chelsea winger sustain Hamstring Injury; Out For Six Weeks as team suffer Shock Loss

According to reports, Chelsea and Nigerian right wing-back Victor Moses is feared to be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks after suffering a hamstring injury as the Premier League Champions suffer a shock 1-2 defeat to Crystal Palace‎.

The African started the match but limped out of the clash after 40 minutes after going down with what looked more like a hamstring problem as he charged forward to help his team set up an attack with the scores level at 1-1.

Victor Moses who contributed to the blues leveller by winning the team the corner kick that leads to the equalizing goal watched on from the substitute bench as Palace forward Wilfred Zaha struck the winner, just a minutes after the restart.

On his return to the club where he started his football career, the Russia bound Super Eagle star was given a standing ovation by Palace fans as the medics helped him out of the field with what informed sources at the Stadium say is a hamstring problem.

Although he will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury, initial claim suggests he could be sidelined for about six weeks, which effectively rules the winger out of Nigeria’s next FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifying match against Algeria in Algiers.
