Chelsea Injury Scare! Christopher Nkunku Suffers Knee Problem | Football/Soccer

Christopher Nkunku has already offered Chelsea an injury scare, with the French forward picking up a knee problem against Borussia Dortmund.

The 25-year-old, who has joined the Blues this summer in a £53 million ($67m) transfer from RB Leipzig, lasted just 22 minutes during a friendly date at Soldier Field in Chicago. Nkunku took a tumble when being challenged by Mats Hummels and while he was able to make it through another 10 minutes, he eventually had to be replaced by Mykhailo Mudryk.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino told the club’s official website when asked for an update on Nkunku: “The doctors are checking him and I hope it is not a big issue. He fell in the action which was maybe a penalty and he feels something in his knee, but we hope it is nothing big. We hope he can be back quickly with the team. We need a few days to assess him.”
