Christopher Nkunku marked his return to the French team by scoring his first goal in the 4-1 victory against Israel in the Nations League. Performing and praised by Didier Deschamps, the Chelsea striker is establishing himself as a major asset for the Blues.
Absent from the France team since June 2023, Christopher Nkunku made a remarkable return Thursday during the Nations League match against Israel (4-1). Established on the left side of the attack, the Chelsea striker delivered a solid performance, scoring his first goal in the tricolor jersey after a skillful action initiated by Eduardo Camavinga. Nkunku, lively and involved defensively, alternated between eccentric play and axial returns, destabilizing the Israeli defense and earning praise from Didier Deschamps.
A promising return for Nkunku
Despite his limited playing time at Chelsea, Nkunku has proven that he still has a lot to offer the French team, especially with the absence of Kylian Mbappé. Deschamps was very satisfied with his performance, emphasizing his freshness and his potential. After 16 months of waiting, this goal could mark a turning point in his international career, as he prepares to play a more important role with the Blues, particularly in view of the next match against Belgium.
