Chelsea‘s star attacker, Christopher Nkunku is nearing his comeback from injury. After transferring from RB Leipzig for a notable £52 million this summer, a knee injury during preseason sidelined him. But now, recent updates indicate that his recovery is on track, promising a swift return.
During the summer, the 25-year-old Christopher Nkunku showcased his potential in preseason games. But a knee setback halted his momentum. As weeks passed, excitement about his comeback intensified. Now, he stands on the brink of restarting his cardio routines.
Nkunku Path to Recovery
As Si Phillips Talks Chelsea reports, Nkunku alternates between specialist visits in Paris and rehab sessions in London. Si Phillips added,
“Chelsea plans to initiate light training for him soon. They will then transition him to full team drills.”
Caution remains Chelsea’s priority as they reintegrate Nkunku. Yet, the uplifting updates hint at his imminent appearance in Chelsea gear and perhaps on the matchday list.
On a related note, Mauricio Pochettino recently welcomed five players back for the riveting Arsenal game. Reece James, Malo Gusto, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Nicolas Jackson all made the roster, deepening the squad’s options.

Nkunku’s progress is encouraging. However, several players remain on the injury bench. Armando Broja, absent from the last game, has resumed training and could play soon.
Meanwhile, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka are still out. It seems Ben Chilwell will miss considerable playtime, likely in the next two months. Also, an ACL injury sidelines defender Wesley Fofana.
As Chelsea gears up for a bustling November and December, they eagerly await the returns of key players like Christopher Nkunku and Armando Broja. With fans’ eyes on them, they hope these stars will elevate the team’s performance in the upcoming games.
