'Devastated' - Chelsea old boy Moses breaks silence after suffering Achilles tendon injury

Former Chelsea winger Victor Moses has broken his silence after suffering a serious injury during the first half of Spartak Moscow's 2-0 win against Ural on matchday four in the Russian Premier League on Saturday, August 6.

Spartak Moscow have confirmed that the 2017 English Premier League winner is set to go under the knife and will be out of action for six months.

Moses left the stadium in Yekaterinburg on crutches and his right leg was in a brace.

The 31-year-old, who has been diagnosed with an Achilles tendon injury, is understandably devastated to be out for the foreseeable future, but has vowed to bounce back stronger. 

Writing on Twitter, Moses said : "Devastated to have suffered an injury in the game at the weekend.I will be doing all I can to recover and get back fully fit as quickly as possible to help the team.

"Thank you so much to everyone at the club and all of the fans for your fantastic support.I’ll be back stronger."

Moses had played four times this season before the ailment, netting in his first two games against Akhmat Grozny and Krasnodar.

Given the length of his layoff, this is the most serious injury Moses has suffered in his professional career.

If his rehabilitation goes according to plan, he could be back in action in Spartak Moscow's first game after the winter break, against Ural on March 4, 2023.
