Srbski branilec je bil v preteklih letih eden najzaslužnejših nogometašev za uspehe londonskega velikana, letos pa beleži katastrofalen uvod v premierligaško sezono 2015/2016.
V serijo slabih predstav sodi tekma s Swanseajem, na kateri ga je zasenčil Jefferson Montero, na obračunu Lige prvakov s Portom pa ga je osmešil Yacine Brahimi.
Ivanović je v četrtek zaigral na kvalifikacijski tekmi Albanije in Srbije za nastop na Euru 2016. Branilec je v drugem polčasu staknil poškodbo, zato ga je v 65. minuti zamenjal Duško Tošić.
Navijači se praviloma ne navdušujejo nad zdravstvenimi težavami, ki je z reprezentančnih akcij s seboj prinesejo nogometaši, a tokratna poškodba je med podporniki Chelseaja naletela na nepričakovan odziv.
''Ivanović se je včeraj poškodoval? Kako huda je poškodba? Morda se je bog naveličal njegove igre,'' je zapisal eden od uporabnikov, drugi pa je dodal: ''Ivanović poškodovan, yesssss, osvojili bomo ligo.''
Ivanovic was injured yesterday? How bad was his injury? Maybe God was also fed up of his performance.

Beyond embarrassing to see people who purport to be Chelsea fans happy about one of "their" players, Branislav Ivanovic, getting injured.
