Nkunku has missed Chelsea’s last two games (Picture: Getty)Chelsea hope to welcome Christopher Nkunku back to training this week amid fears over his hip injury. He made his belated debut for the club in December, making three more appearances before missing the FA Cup victory over Preston earlier this month. It was later revealed Nkunku had felt a hip injury in training with Mauricio Pochettino setting alarm bells ringing after admitting he was ‘worried’ for the forward. ‘I’m worried a little bit about the situation of Nkunku because still now I think it’s 10 days that he cannot train and we are assessing him,’ Pochettino said last Friday. Pochettino suggested last week the club may need to buy a new striker this month given Nkunku’s latest absence.
