Injured again, Christopher Nkunku still has to undergo a period of convalescence.
The physical problems keep coming for Christopher Nkunku. Seriously injured in his left knee during the pre-season, the French striker had to wait until December 19 and a League Cup match against Newcastle to see him start in the colors of Chelsea. But after only four short matches played, the former Parisian must already go back to the infirmary.
Hit in the hip, Christopher Nkunku is out of action against Middlesbrough in the League Cup semi-final return on Tuesday evening (1-0 first leg defeat for the Blues). “Nkunku is not available,” declared his coach Mauricio Pochettino this Monday at a press conference, and added: ” It’s a shame. He is still recovering. He suffered a bit of hip pain, but is recovering. It’s not a big problem. But this only delays the possibility of him being available again. »
Chelsea evasive about his injury…
In today’s press release, Chelsea did not say more about the duration of unavailability of their French striker. The London club just clarified that its player was continuing his “rehabilitation program”. One thing is certain: Christopher Nkunku continues to have bad luck. And Euro 2024 with the Blues could well pass him by if he does not quickly regain a physical condition that allows him to express himself. Especially since the competition is tough to say the least in his position.
