Chelsea Manager Pochettino was visibly emotional as yet another crucial player suffered an injury during their recent match, ruling him out for the upcoming clash against Fulham. This unfortunate development has left Chelsea fans disheartened, especially considering the player’s expected absence for the next three months.

Pochettino shared positive updates on Benoit and Chilwell, confirming their inclusion in the team for the upcoming game. Trevoh Chalobah has rejoined the group and is gradually integrating into training.

However, there’s concern about Nkunku, who has been unable to train for about 10 days, and his status remains uncertain. Despite this setback, Pochettino expressed optimism about players like Chalobah, Chilwell, Badiashile, and Chukwuemeka nearing their return, providing potential reinforcements for the team.

Reflecting on Nkunku’s situation, Pochettino emphasized the initial complication after a small problem and expressed sadness over the delay in his return, hoping for his swift involvement in the team.
