Chelsea injury news: Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that one of his key men will feature against Newcastle United.
Christopher Nkunku will play Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge against Newcastle United, according to Mauricio Pochettino’s confirmation. Nkunku, who joined the Blues permanently in the summer, has not yet appeared on the pitch for the squad. Nevertheless, his boss has stated that he will play against the Magpies, though he might only be on the bench when the lineups are revealed.
“Christoph will be involved, as he was in the previous game.” Pochettino attested to it. He was working out great today. In a few minutes, perhaps, he will be able to participate.”
Nkunku and RB Leipzig came to an agreement in January for Nkunku to join Chelsea for £52 million; nevertheless, the Frenchman played out the remainder of the previous season in the Bundesliga before heading to London this summer. Nkunku, who had a strong preseason with the Blues, has not yet played for Pochettino after suffering an injury in their final friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
