Christopher Nkunku partially rejoined the group Chelsea during the international break, but Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the ‘blue’ team, explained this Friday that it is too early for the French forward to play again. The return of the French would be premature.
“Last week he did things with the group, but he didn’t recover enough to join the team,” he said. Pochettino in a press conference, on the eve of the Premier match this Friday at the home of Newcastle.
Nkunku26 years old, came to Chelsea in July from Leipzig as the star signing, but suffered a serious knee injury in preseason and has yet to play in the Premier.
There is no set return date for the French international, he said. Pochettino. “No, it’s hard to say because we have to evaluate the situation every day,” said the Argentine coach, speaking about Nkunku and from another player who is currently unavailable, Romeo Lavia.
“Within Chelsea “Expectations are always the highest,” he continued. Pochettino about Nkunku. “But we all have to understand that with his injury he needs time and we have to be patient with him. He must not only recover, but also understand the championship and the culture.”
Also seriously injured this summer, the French defender Wesley Fofana was recently photographed at training camp with Chelseaalthough his return is not imminent.
“It’s nice to see him run on the field. It’s good motivation (for him) and it’s good that he can feel the field,” he said. Pochettino.
