Hernan missed the first day of pre-season training and only returned yesterday, apparently armed with a legitimate reason as to why he wasn't there.
However, it would appear as if Jose Mourinho does not have any plans with Crespo in his is squad, with the former Porto boss keen to sign Marseille star Didier Drogba!
Hernan revealed "I love Chelsea and made a commitment to the club when I came to London last year.
"It is tough when you train hard and you work hard and then you are not given a chance. This happened last season and I hope it will not happen this season.
"I do not turn my back on Chelsea. I am willing to fight for the club and the team."
Chelsea Mad is certain that we have not heard the last of this saga. More news on this as we get it!
