Chelsea’s French striker, injured on Wednesday in a warm-up match, should avoid a long absence.
In his misfortune, Christopher Nkunku may have avoided the worst. Hit in the right knee on Wednesday during a preparation match against Borussia Dortmund (1-1) played in Chicago (United States), the Chelsea striker will be away from the field for a few weeks, instead of several month, indicates The Evening Standard.
The 25-year-old international missed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar precisely because of a knee injury, the left this time, contracted on November 15 during training with the France team ( external ligament).
Transferred to Chelsea in January 2023, before being loaned to RB Leipzig where he stayed for four years, Christopher Nkunku will therefore miss the opening of the Premier League.
One of the posters for the first day of the English Championship will pit Chelsea against Liverpool on August 13 at Stamford Bridge. Kick off at 5:30 p.m.
