Michael Emenalo<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Newly installed sporting director at Chelsea FC Michael Emenalo says the club can cope without having to replace the midfielder Michael Essien.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghana international has been ruled out for six-months following successful surgery to repair a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right\u00a0 knee.<\/p>\n

As a result, Chelsea have been linked with a move for either Scott Parker or Cheik Tiote of West Ham and Newcastle United respectively.<\/p>\n

However, Emenalo told Sky Sports News that the Blues will cope with Essien\u2019s absence without necessarily needing to go into the transfer market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe squad is littered with world-class players and the idea of replacing someone or not replacing someone sounds a little bit ludicrous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have enough in the tank to get the job done. He (Essien) will be missed. Everyone knows he is an important part of Chelsea and a magnificent player in the side for the club and he still will be when he recovers but I don\u2019t think there is any panic or desperation to replace him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will do just what a club of our ilk should do and find the right solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
