Chelsea report confirms Christopher Nkunku, undergoing medical assessment.

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is facing an extensive period on the sidelines following knee surgery after sustaining an injury during a friendly match against Borussia Dortmund. Despite joining Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023, Nkunku has made just 10 appearances and scored two goals for the club, missing significant fixtures like the Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool and an upcoming FA Cup tie with Leeds United, among others. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino highlighted the challenges Nkunku faced in adapting to the Premier League due to persistent injury issues, further exacerbating Chelsea's injury concerns with already 20 players sidelined. Additionally, Nkunku's absence poses a setback for the French national team ahead of the 2024 World Cup qualifiers, with coach Didier Deschamps potentially needing to explore alternative options such as Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
