Manchester United star speaks out on Kurt Zouma injury
JUAN MATA has sent his condolences to Kurt Zouma after he was carried off on a stretcher at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Mata was one of the first players on the scene when Zouma went down
The defender landed awkwardly on his knee after jumping for a header and was in severe discomfort as he was taken off.
And Mata, playing in front of what used to be his home crowd, was just yards away from the incident.
"I don’t want to forget about Kurt Zouma’s injury, I was very close to him when it happened," Mata wrote in his blog.
"It’s a pity, it would have been a very important step in this second half of the Premiership, but Chelsea pushed hard (as expected) to at least tie the game and they finally scored their goal.
"We are improving our game lately, and I’m sure this is the way to get a series of good results in the next few weeks."
