Another hit in the left knee last week, Christopher Nkunku should be out for at least two months. The Chelsea player will still be missed by the Blues.
It’s a real massacre that is happening on the side of Chelsea. The London club has lost several players to injury. More or less serious physical glitches, of which Christopher Nkunku was the victim. Touched on August 2 in the left knee, the defector from RB Leipzig does not seem ready to put on his crampons. The news from England about him is not good. Enough to seriously question the possible presence of the player during the next match of the France team, scheduled for September 7 against Ireland, as part of the qualifications for Euro 2024.
An indiscretion of The Athletic revealed on Tuesday that the new Chelsea FC signing is expected to be out for at least two months. If the exact nature of the Frenchman’s injury has not yet been identified or formalized, the trend is clearly not positive for the player who had nevertheless started the preparation phase with his new team with a bang. With three goals in four games, Christopher Nkunku seemed set for a great and great season. The halt is therefore all the more brutal.
The Blues fill the Blues infirmary
If the English media indicates that the London club should communicate on Tuesday about the injury of its player, Didier Deschamps is already grimacing. With a qualifying match for Euro 2024 to be played in a month, it is a new offensive option which is withdrawn from him. And for Chelsea, the infirmary remains busy. Another tricolor international, in the person of Benoît Badiashile, is also on the flank, due to a hamstring injury which deprived him of the entire pre-season. As for Wesley Fofana, betrayed by his physique for the umpteenth time and victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in mid-July, he will also be missed by the Blues.
