Chelsea have received an update on Christopher Nkunku ahead of their Premier League opener on Sunday, August 13, 2023. The Blues face Liverpool for the 2023/24 league opener.
Ahead of the game, Nkunku suffered an injury during their pre-season clash with Borussia Dortmund on Thursday. The newcomer suffered a knee injury and is expected to miss the opening game.
The Blues are hopeful that Nkunku will be sidelined for a few weeks and not months following his injury, as per Evening Standard.
The news of the player being out only for weeks is surely a boost for the Blues, however, it is still a blow as he will probably miss the game against the Reds.
