‘I’ve had to learn to walk again’ - Loftus-Cheek reveals extent of achilles injury suffered last season

The Chelsea youth product has yet to play this season due to the long-term problem he picked up ahead of the 2019 Europa League final

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek revealed he has been forced to learn how to walk again after suffering an achilles injury at the end of last season.

The incident took place during the Blues’ end-of-year friendly against New England Revolution, which ruled him out of the Europa League final meeting with Arsenal and the start of the current campaign.

It has been a long five months for Loftus-Cheek since suffering the injury, and the England international has opened up on the full extent of the problem.
