Christopher Nkunku sends two-word message to Chelsea fans ahead of Manchester City clash
Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku looks to be closing in on a return from injury.
Christopher Nkunku arrived at Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the summer in a £52m deal (BBC Sport), but he is yet to play a game for the Blues after picking up a knee injury at the end of pre-season.
However, a recent post on the Frenchman’s Instagram suggests he could be back soon.
Nkunku shared some pictures of him in the gym with the caption “getting closer”.
Nkunku will not feature against Manchester City on Sunday, though, with Chelsea not wanting to take any risks with the 25-year-old.
Who could Christopher Nkunku make his competitive debut against?
While Nkunku will not be ready for the City game, he could make his Chelsea debut against their rivals Manchester United after the international break.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea’s plan is to have him back for beginning of December, so he could end up making his bow in blue against United or Brighton & Hove Albion.
