London based football club, Chelsea, has informed that it expects to assess fully Jose Bosingwa’s thigh injury today. This decision has come after the scan, which the player was supposed to undergo, was delayed.
Jose Bosingwa, the 25 year old right-back from Portugal, last summer joined the Stanford Bridge side after a transfer from FC Porto. He unfortunately managed to play for only twenty minutes on the field while complaining about a thigh problem in Southern China on Wednesday.
Initially, Chelsea insisted on the fact that the right-back from Portugal was withdrawn from the match, as a part of a precautionary measure. However after sometime, it was revealed that he needed to undergo a scan to determine about the seriousness of the injury.  For this reason, the player was asked to have a scan on Thursday itself. However, due to a sudden change in the schedule of Chelsea’s flight from Guangzhou to Macau for a friendly match against Chengdu Blades, which was to be played on Saturday, the scan was delayed for a day.
Formal Brazilian and now present coach of Chelsea, Luiz Felipe Scolari, told the media on Thursday that they are looking forward for the report of the scan, since the results will have an impact on further pre-season preparation of the player.
If Bosingwa is declared fit enough to be a part of the Chelsea team for the remaining matches of their Asian and Russian tour, he will stay or else he will be returning to London at the earliest.
