Chelsea outcast Van Ginkel makes first senior appearance since 2018 after injury hell

 The Dutch midfielder returned to the pitch after 32 months out of action during PSV's latest Eredivisie outing

Chelsea outcast Marco van Ginkel has made his first senior appearance since 2018 after coming through an injury hell which threatened to bring his career to a premature end.

Van Ginkel was seen as one of the brightest young talents in European football when Chelsea snapped him up from Vitesse for a reported £8 million eight years ago.

Unfortunately, the Dutchman has only featured in four senior matches for the Blues since then, with his last run out for the club coming in 2014 - when Jose Mourinho was still in charge at Stamford Bridge.
