Chelsea given reassuring injury update after latest scare
Chelsea have been given some reassuring news on Christopher Nkunku’s latest injury, with journalist Fabrice Hawkins suggesting the French forward’s latest setback is not as serious as some had feared.
Nkunku missed yesterday’s FA Cup clash against Preston, but it seems this was just a precaution from Chelsea, with the former RB Leipzig man now expected to make it back for the club’s next fixtures.
