But Nizaar Kinsella of Goal.com has today been reassuring fans that this won’t prevent the transfer, and that the problem and the resulting surgery are not risky or potentially damaging to Kounde.
According to Kinsella’s piece, it’s a longer term injury that Chelsea were already aware of, the minor procedure won’t affect their plans to sign him.
So while it’s only natural to be worried about it, you can at least know that it’s just paranoia rather than any substantiated fear. His medical is yet to come, but it’s all expected to go smoothly.
