New Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku was injured against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday at Soldier Field in Chicago,
Blow to Chelsea. After defender Wesley Fofana was injured a few days ago, the Blues are now worried about another Frenchman.
Indeed, the English club’s new striker, Christopher Nkunku, was injured on Wednesday against Borussia Dortmund in a warm-up match (1-1) at Soldier Field in Chicago. The French international collapsed to the ground holding his leg after a duel in the box with Matts Hummels in the 9th minute. He finally came out in the 22nd minute, before reappearing on the bench with an ice pack on his right knee.
Worried Pochettino
Facing the media, Mauricio Pochettino gave news of his player and did not hide his concern. “ The doctors are examining it and I hope it’s not a big deal. He feels something in his knee, but we hope it’s not serious. We hope he can return to the team soon. We need a few days to evaluate it. We took risks because the terrain is not perfect. This is sometimes the risk of the tour. We’re not going to blame the pitch for the injury. For me, it was bad luck. »
THE Blues are now hoping Christopher Nkunku, who arrived for €60m this summer from RB Leipzig, will be delivered in time for the Premier League’s resumption, scheduled for Sunday August 13 against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
