This is the good news for Chelsea fans. The Blues will once again be able to count on Christopher Nkunku (26), recovered from his hip injury. Unavailable since the end of December, the former Leipzig player has not yet managed to play more than three consecutive matches with his new colors. Another Frenchman returns to Mauricio Pochettino’s team: Malo Gusto (20 years old). Before his injury, the former Lyon player had three consecutive starts in the Premier League.

We now hope that the two players will be able to continue with the London club. Both internationals, they are playing for their place in the French team group in this second part of the season, with their sights set on Euro 2024 in Germany.
