Snatched at a high price by Chelsea from RB Leipzig, Christopher Nkunku has not yet proven himself with the Blues. The reason ? The former PSG player underwent surgery for a serious knee injury last August and has since been away from the pitch. Four months later, the 26-year-old offensive player sees the end of the tunnel. While he recently returned to training, his coach Mauricio Pochettino recently suggested that he could count on him during his team’s next championship games.
So, can London fans hope to see the French international (10 caps) take part in the trip to Newcastle counting for the 13th day of the Premier League, on November 25? Not so sure according to the information from Daily Mail this Sunday. Indeed, the British tabloid indicates that the Chelsea medical staff do not want to rush and plan to gradually reinstate the native of Lagny-sur-Marne. With this in mind, he should make his return during the month of December.
