Chelsea FC midfield player Scott Parker has broken a bone in his foot and will be out of action until next year, the Premiership leaders announced on Monday.
Broken metatarsal
The English international broke the metatarsal bone in his foot after coming on as a late substitute in Chelsea's 4-0 league victory against struggling Norwich City FC on Saturday. Parker joined Chelsea from Charlton Athletic FC in January for €14.5m but has struggled to force his way into José Mourinho's starting lineup.
