Chelsea's Cole won't write off
season
tribalfooball.com - February 14, 2007
Joe Cole is refusing to put a date on his return from his foot
injury - but insists he will play for Chelsea before the end of the
season.
The 25-year-old suffered knee problems earlier in the season and
has only played in 12 games in the campaign - 11 for Chelsea and
once for England - as Jose Mourinho's squad has been hit by
injuries.
"Everything is going to plan and, providing there are no setbacks,
I will be back this season," said Cole.
"I don't want to put any date on it because I saw what happened
with John Terry. I am working hard and doing everything I am
told.
"I am really looking forward to coming back at the important end of
the season and helping us win some trophies."
Cole no longer requires a protective boot and is set to start
"weight-bearing exercises" but is still using crutches.
He added in the London Evening Standard: "As a player you have a
certain amount of games in you and what I am missing now I believe
I will get back in my 30s, hopefully still at Chelsea and winning
trophies
hope to see him back soon
