"I will go back to Chelsea for the next season and expect to have a great season," Essien told the Sunday Mirror. "We have shown that we can handle disappointments, and I think we will be able to bounce back next season a better side.



"Most of the guys have gone on holiday and they will put the disappointment of the last season behind them. The season generally was very disappointing. When you put these things behind you, you become stronger."
