Essien returns to boost Chelsea bid

Published on: 02 December 2010

Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien says his return from suspension this weekend can help reverse their wretched run in the English Premier League.

The 27-year-old has completed a three-match domestic after a red card incident during Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Fulham in which he scored.

"My ban is over so I am looking forward to getting back on the pitch and doing what I do best," Essien told the club's official website.

"The snow is starting to get heavier and no doubt the snowball fights will start soon when training is over but it’s always serious training first.

"We are working hard in training to turn things round after our recent sticky patch and I believe the togetherness, ability and spirit in the camp will see us through."

Chelsea host Everton at Stamford Bridge and are chasing their first win in five matches.
