The Portugal full-back has been struggling with the niggle all season and, having not played since mid-October, he travelled to Lisbon this week to consult with a specialist.

And Chelsea have now confirmed that he underwent surgery, which will rule him out until February.

A statement from the club read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Jose Bosingwa underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

"His recovery time will be approximately three months."

However there was some better news from the club as they confirmed that Ashley Cole's fracture of the tibia does not require surgery.
