cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 We expected Nkunku to make the difference, at least so far as the forward line is concerned. Came from Leipzig like Timo, but expectations were bigger. Now these constant injuries ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,181 Posted March 24, 2024 Share Posted March 24, 2024 The ghost of £52m man has haunted Chelsea for 18 months; now is the time to break the spell https://Chelsea.news/2024/03/the-ghost-of-52m-man-has-haunted-Chelsea-for-18-months-now-is-the-time-to-break-the-spell-opinion/ It’s not over yet, but it already feels like this Chelsea season has been defined by one player who has barely featured – Christopher Nkunku. His presence his been hanging over the club for about 18 months now, since the reports he had a future transfer arranged were first put out there. Since that point, his future arrival was held up as the symbol of the start of a new era at the club. His good performances in preseason felt like proof that this would be the case. The enthusiasm built steadily with his form, and was then shattered by his injury. After that, we went back to waiting. No matter how bad things got, we had the return of Nkunku, the king in the hill, to magically restore our kingdom. Instead he returned, got injured, returned again, seemed to fall out of favour, then got injured again and disappeared. The period since then has felt like a despondent group coming to terms with the fact they were going to have to do it without him. We have seen signs they’re doing that. Will we come back from this international break finally cured of the feeling of dependence on him and ready to attack the final stretch? Or will the ghost of Nkunku continue to haunt us all the way until May? We can’t wait to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,181 Posted April 3, 2024 Share Posted April 3, 2024 Mauricio Pochettino unsure whether injured Christopher Nkunku will play again this season https://theathletic.com/5388249/2024/04/03/mauricio-pochettino-unsure-whether-injured-christopher-nkunku-will-play-again-this-season/ Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino says he does not know if forward Christopher Nkunku will play again this season. The Athletic reported in February that the 26-year-old France international, who has had an injury-hit campaign, would be out for “up to a month” with a new issue. However, Pochettino is unsure if Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig last summer in a deal worth €60million (£52.7m, $58.8m), will feature again for the London side this campaign. He said: “I don’t know. Still, we don’t know. At the moment we do not know when it is possible for him to start training with the team. At the moment he is not training with us. “It did not happen (a setback). I have no information about that. His recovery is taking longer than we expected. That was after the final (League Cup final). He played in the final with a problem that we did not know about and found after the game. “There are different circumstances that affect things. It is not only him. Too many players have suffered injuries this season. “We hope that he can be involved again quickly. As soon as possible. It will be really good if he can join the team again before the end of the season. We hope that will happen.” Nkunku has found fitness and game time difficult to come by this season, due to a range of injury issues. His last appearance came as a substitute in the League Cup final against Liverpool in February. A knee injury sustained during a pre-season game last summer required surgery and kept him out for the first four months of the season while a hip injury kept him sidelined for the majority of January. He has been limited to just 10 appearances in all competitions this season, the majority of those being as a substitute. Defenders Trevor Chalobah and Malo Gusto, who missed Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday due to injuries, have returned to training and could be fit to face Manchester United on Thursday, but Ben Chilwell is a doubt for the due to an illness. Pochettino said: “Trevor (Chalobah) and Malo (Gusto) will train with us. I think they will be ready to be in the squad (against Manchester United on Thursday). “Chilly (Chilwell) no. We haven’t seen him since Friday. The doctor and medical staff removed a lot of fluid from his knee after he returned from the national team. Saturday he got ill and he has been at home since recovering. Rob Sanchez is training. We will see if he is in the squad.” GO DEEPER What Chelsea can expect from Christopher Nkunku: Composure, clinical finishing and clever runs (Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 3, 2024 Share Posted April 3, 2024 So probably a no. So Lavia, Nkunku, Fofana (is he still alive?), who else is fucked and out for the last games of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Nkunku has been linked with a move away, with Manchester United favourites but Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has insisted Christopher Nkunku can force his way into the club’s Premier League side.

They can fuck off Can see him being sold. Cannot see him wanting to bench ride in the league and only play in the 2nd XI for too long. On top of this, he is one of the few 2nd XI players who is either worth the same or slightly more than we paid for them, so helps with FFP as we have started to run out of HG players we can sell for high fees. Trevor is likely the only one this Summer as I doubt Broja is coming back from injury and banging in enough to get a £25m+ fee.
