Kurt Zouma will this week undergo knee surgery which will rule him out for the rest of the season and Euro 2016, Chelsea have announced.<\/p>\n

The France defender injured his anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United.<\/p>\n

A statement on Chelsea’s official webiste read: “Kurt will undergo surgery in the next 48 hours and is expected to be out for approximately six months.”<\/p>\n

Zouma landed awkwardly early in the second half of the drawn Premier League contest and was taken off on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

He vowed to return “stronger”.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old wrote on Twitter:<\/p>\n

\n

“Scan today has shown I injured my ACL. I will have surgery this week & will come back stronger. Thank you everyone for all the messages.”<\/p>\n
