Nigerian Wonderkid Tammy Abraham Returns To Chelsea
Published: February 21, 2017
Bristol City coach Lee Johnson has provided an update on the fitness of Nigeria target Tammy Abraham.
The prolific striker has not kicked a ball in a competitive fixture or participated in full training since he sustained a thigh injury against Leeds United last week.
The good news is that Abraham’s injury is not as bad as first feared, and he is set to return to the pitch in the next three weeks or so, having returned to Chelsea to undergo treatment.
“He’s certainly going to be out for two to three weeks, ” Johnson told Bristol City Player HD.
“It’s a big loss for us given how many goals he’s scored this season and how good he’s been.
“It’s the best case scenario because at one point we thought it could be six to eight weeks.
“Tammy is hoping it’s nearer two than three weeks. Chelsea are looking after him at the moment and we’ll get him back in around a week to ten days to start getting him back on the [training pitches].”
The 19-year-old Abraham has netted 21 times for Bristol City in all competitions this season.
