Chelsea is optimistic about Christopher Nkunku’s recovery, aiming to have him back in time for the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Newcastle United, according to sources from 90min.
Despite the initial concerns following his knee surgery, Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig for £52m in the summer, is ahead of schedule. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has hinted at a possible return after the November international break, contrary to earlier fears that he might be sidelined until 2024.
Chelsea is slated to resume action on November 25 with a Premier League match against Newcastle, followed by fixtures against Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester United, Everton, and Sheffield United in the initial weeks of December. The club is eyeing Nkunku’s participation in the Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle on December 20, with plans for his return to competitive play in the preceding fixtures of the month.
