Top 5 Injury Plagued Superstars Including Arsenal And Chelsea Stars

3. Michael Essien

Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien might not have had a plethora of injuries throughout his career, but what he does have is very significant injuries. When he gets injured, he gets injured for a serious length of time, and it’s probably the reason why Essien never quite made the jump into the class of elite midfielders. Six months for a cruciate ligament in 2009. Then another month injured later that year. Six months off in 2010 for meniscal damage in his knee. Six months off again in 2011 for another cruciate ligament. A very unique talent he may be, but you can only assume that his time at Chelsea is running out.
