“You are a liar” – Mauricio Pochettino’s Nkunku update has some unraveled details about potential return
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!As Christmas approaches, the anticipation surrounding the return of star summer signing Christopher Nkunku is steadily growing. Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that the French star is now training on the grass and is on the verge of making a comeback with the team.
Pochettino shared insights during a press conference at Cobham, stating, “We had some conversations, and he said to me, ‘I want to be ready for after the international break, for the Newcastle game.’ I asked him yesterday, and he said, ‘hmmm…,’ and I said, ‘you are a liar!’ It is close, and he is really well. We are happy with him. Romeo Lavia is also close. They trained today on the pitch. Hopefully with the team next week.”
The Chelsea boss, displaying a touch of humor, acknowledged Nkunku’s eagerness to return and emphasized the positive progress both Nkunku and Romeo Lavia are making in their recovery.
While the game immediately following the international break may have been too soon for Nkunku’s return, the upcoming fortnight provides an ideal window for him to transition from individual training to full team involvement. Pochettino’s excitement about having such a crucial player back in action is palpable, and it seems that the return of Christopher Nkunku in a Chelsea jersey is drawing nearer, potentially less than a month away.
The prospect of Nkunku’s return is undoubtedly cause for excitement among Chelsea fans.
