Chelsea's Zouma faces six months out

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma faces six months out
because he needs surgery on the knee injury he suffered
on Sunday.
The 21-year-old landed awkwardly after contesting a high
ball and was taken off on a stretcher in the 1-1 Premier
League draw with Manchester United.
"Scan today has shown I injured my anterior cruciate
ligament. I will have surgery this week and will come back
stronger," Zouma tweeted.
Chelsea said he would be out for "approximately six
months".
The France centre-back has made 32 appearances for the
Blues this term.
The most recent of his two France caps was in an
international friendly with Denmark in October.
France host this year's European Championship, which
begins in June.
Zouma and John Terry have become preferred starters in
central defence as Chelsea have gone nine matches
without defeat under interim manager Guus Hiddink.
