Nkunku’s ordeal never ends

At Chelsea they were very happy when they signed Nkunku for 60 million. The Frenchman was chosen to make a difference in Pochettino’s promising project. Green rules again. Christopher Nkunku has spent more time in the infirmary than on the field and the Argentine coach has not yet found the key to building the team he aspires to be, still very far from the goals set at the beginning of the season.

The attacker came out of PSG Arrived at Chelsea from Leipzigwhere he spent four seasons going from less to more. The last two seasons in the Bundesliga he scored 20 goals in 34 games and 16 in 25, numbers a far cry from those of the current London team, which has been burdened by injuries. He has barely been involved in ten games this year, where he has contributed two goals.

Its market value is still around 70M, but still no trace of that footballer who fell in love with Germany. In Stamford Bridge They are still not aware that they have a lot of talent in the squad. A man who you give the ball to and he looks into the eyes of his rivals with a typical smile of the players, tells you that from the left or from the right he will do it to you. The defenders knew it, but they couldn’t avoid it.

Your injury history

He was injured in the preseason and had to undergo surgery for a knee injury that kept him out until matchday 18, where he played his first minutes in a loss against Wolves. Two days later he missed some cup games and some in the League due to hip problems. And now after losing the Carabao final against Liverpool in extra time (1-0) they are low again. This is how Pochettino explained it: ”Yesterday we learned that Nkunku was injured, but we don’t know when he was injured. He will be out for three or four weeks, we think. It was a difficult time for him”.
