Soccer Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ray Wilkins is confident that Chelsea duo
Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel will have recovered from injuries in time
for the start of the new season in mid-August.
Blues' assistant Wilkins is pleased with the way the duo's rehabilitation work
is going after they were both forced to miss the World Cup finals in South
Africa.
Ghana star Essien and Nigerian Mikel missed the tournament because of knee
injuries, but an upbeat Wilkins said: "There should be no problem whatsoever.
"Mikel is slightly in advance of Michael Essien but they're both working very
well indeed. They've been working double sessions for the last week and we'll
get them really firing before the season starts.
"Normally, after a World Cup, you find with those players who come back from
the tournament, they hit a wall at about December time.
"It's very important we manage them in the correct manner and we get them to a
level where they won't be as fit as we want them to be but, as they creep into
the new year, their fitness will come back.
"We also have to get the players we've got here training now into the right
fitness condition so that they're prepared to play, because we might not be
able to use the guys coming back from the World Cup for the first couple of
games. So these young men have to be primed and ready to perform."

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
