Swept by Liverpool at Anfield in the middle of the week (4-1), Chelsea are obliged to react and this requires a success in front of their home crowd against Wolverhampton on the 23rd day of the Premier League, Sunday. For this confrontation, Mauricio Pochettino could rely in attack on Christopher Nkunku, author of the reduction of the gap against the Reds for his return to competition after a month of absence. Asked about the Frenchman’s state of health, the Blues coach indicated that he would take precautions to avoid another relapse for his player.
“We need to take care of Christopher Nkunku and build his confidence and fitness step by step. He has to work very hard to give his best and I am of course happy with the help he gives to the team. But we have to be careful in how we push him to get him into the shape we expect him to be.”declared the Argentinian at a press conference.
