Chelsea players have a habit of picking up injuries at the Africa Cup of Nations and now it's Salomon Kalou's turn. Kalou's been excellent so far in the tournament, having assisted a Didier Drogba goal during the Ivory Coast's win against Sudan, and he was one of the best players on the pitch against Burkina Faso, scoring a wonderful volley and generally causing chaos and looking miles better than Arsenal's Gervinho.
Unfortunately, that particular outing has been curtailed by what looks like a hamstring injury - Kalou was sprinting up the pitch only to start limping mid-stride, and while he was able to tough it out for a couple of seconds and pass the ball away, he was clearly in a good deal of distress and ended up going down in a heap. After a few minutes of treatment, he's been stretchered off and replaced by Max-Alain Gradel.
I know Kalou's not the most popular figure amongst Chelsea fans, but he's been a reliable, underrated goalscorer for us and has been extremely impressive in this tournament. At this point, nobody's really sure how severe the injury is (we will, of course, update y'all when we get a prognosis), but if we lose him just as he's looking to find his form... well, that'd be pretty unfortunate.

As a Texan
I’m impressed with your use of the term y’all. You even put the apostrophe in the correct location — which unfortunately many Texans don’t know how to do.
I hope it's not too bad an injury
it’d be pissed to lose him for a longer term this season
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
And any chance of him being sold this transfer window is gone now too!
though if he was playing well, he might not have anyway.
on another note: can those shirts be any tigher?
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you.
Yo I'm the Scatman.
So he'll be available at a discount?
I kid I kid. I hope he’s alright.

He has been one of the better players for Ivory Coast. Hope it's not serious...
