Mauricio Pochettino has provided an injury update on Christopher Nkunku ahead of Chelsea's clash with Middlesbrough.
The Blues host Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg game on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
Pochettino's side suffered a defeat in the first leg with a 1-0 score.
Nkunku is currently out with a hip injury and ahead of the game, the Blues boss was asked to provide an update on the player.
"No [chance of playing]. Always happens, no? With long-term injuries, to find the balance is the difficult thing. He suffered with his hip. It's not a big issue," Pochettino said.
The player sustained the injury during a training session earlier in January.
