A View From The Bridge

Forgotten Chelsea man set for yet another loan spell after being injured since 2018

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel to join PSV Eindhoven on loan

According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel is set to join Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven on loan.

The 27-year-old has featured just four times since joining the club in 2013. Nicknamed the next Frank Lampard, the youngster arrived at Stamford Bridge as the reigning Dutch Talent of the Year.

Given his limited impact for the Blues, it is sometimes easy to forget that the Dutchman is on the club’s books.

Injuries have ruined what could have been a special career for the 27-year-old. In fact, he has spent 1252 days out injured since joining Chelsea.

Van Ginkel has had three loan spells since joining Chelsea. Spells at AC Milan and Stoke City were promising but did not lead anywhere.

The 27-year-old signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge earlier this summer, despite not playing for Chelsea in six years.

A return to PSV Eindhoven where he spent two years from 2016 to 2018 appears to be on the cards. Van Ginkel experienced a resurgence in form during his time with the Dutch giants.

Unfortunately, his career came to a crashing halt once again when he sustained a knee injury in 2018. He has not played since.

Hopefully, Van Ginkel can continue from where he left off at Eindhoven. The prospect of him reaching the levels he aspired to appears to be low but he can still resurrect what has been an unfortunate career.

Whether he has a future at the Bridge is debatable. But a good showing can remind other suitors what made him such a hot commodity early on his career.
