Christopher Nkunku got injured in the pre-season match against Dortmund and walked off the pitch in the 27th minute of the match. Mauricio Pochettino is now in charge of his new club Chelsea showed why he was very successful in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Pre-season was really good for Chelsea as they did not lose any matches and won 4 matches which was an amazing performance for them. The new signings Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson scored five goals in the pre-season together, which is an amazing stat to have in the new team, but the minor injury of Nkunku is going to hurt Chelsea because they are going to miss him in the first few weeks which have a tough fixture.
Chelsea’s first English Premier League match is against Liverpool on August 13th, 2023, and the match will start at 9:00 PM/IST. It will be quite hard for them to go against a side like Liverpool without Nkunku, but he will not stay on the pitch for long because the injury is not serious. Chelsea’s medical team also suggested the player recover fully because it will be a long season for them.
Chelsea signed Nkunku from RB Leipzig after his amazing two seasons there, in which he scored 47 goals in 119 matches. He played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2015-2019 after showing a strong performance for the B team, but because Kylian Mbappe was in the PSG so it was impossible for Nkunku to thrive at the club, then he decided to go for RB Leipzig. He is just a 25-year-old France forward who is rated as one of the top talents in the world and can play in any forward position, including flanks, striker, and attacking midfielder, which is an additional perk for having him in the team.
