Chelsea have announced that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has undergone successful surgery on his ruptured Achilles, but have set no timescale on his recovery. “Ruben successfully underwent surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon last night [Thursday],” Chelsea said in a statement on their official website. “He will miss the UEFA Europa League final and England’s campaign at the Nations League finals and will spend the summer undergoing rehabilitation in order to resume full training as soon as possible.” He will have the summer to work on his recovery, but accepts that he will be reduced to a spectator role at the start of the 2019-20 campaign.
