Van Ginkel renews despite not playing for 2 years

Chelsea made Marco Van Ginkel's contract extension until June 2021 official on Friday. As the club statement states, it will be his 8th season at the London based club.

8 seasons in which the Dutchman has only been able to play 98 minutes for the Chelsea first team, split between 4 matches, and a total of 8 more matches with Chelsea reserves.

The continuous injuries that the player has suffered has kept him out the team for the last two years. In fact, he played his last official match on 6th May 2018 for PSV.

Since then, the Dutchman has been involved in numerous setbacks, which has cut short his progress as a player. Still, Chelsea wish to count on him for next season and therefore, have reached a deal with him for his renewal.
