During a press conference this Friday, Mauricio Pochettino gave news about Christopher Nkunku.
Seriously injured in a knee during the pre-season, Christopher Nkunku, who has not played a single official match with Chelsea, is very close to a return. But it’s not yet for this weekend. If the French international has partially resumed collective training, he is not yet ready to appear in Mauricio Pochettino’s group this weekend.
“Last week he did some things with the group, but he is not recovered enough to rejoin the team”indicated the Argentine coach at a press conference this Friday, on the eve of facing Newcastle.
“We have to be patient with him”
Mauricio Pochettino then remained evasive regarding the return date of the former Parisian. “No, it’s difficult to say because we have to assess the situation day by day”confided the Argentinian technician, and added: “But we all have to understand that with his injury he will need time and we have to be patient with him. »
