Essien set to make March return
-
Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has targeted a return to action for the Blues next month following a cruciate ligament injury.
The 26-year-old midfield powerhouse has been on the sidelines since August but is making progress on his return to fitness.
Essien has been included in Chelsea's Champions League squad and the Ghana international is hopeful of returning to the side in March.
"According to [rehabilitation physio Thierry] Laurent, it should not take more than one month for me to play actively again," Essien told 90minutes.
"He has assured me that once we go through a few other exercises for two or three weeks, I should be fit enough to return to the pitch."
Essien also believes new manager Guus Hiddink is the right man to get the club's season back on track.
"Hiddink has been around for quite a while and knows what it takes to get positive results out of nothing," added Essien.
"He is a fantastic manager, so we hope he will bring the magic to give us the strength we need to mount a challenge in all competitions."
