The most recent update on what Christopher Nkunku did to the Liverpool icon prior to Chelsea’s injury return

Chelsea injury updates as Christopher Nkunku occupies his recovery time and the international break with commitments.

In the weeks leading up to his eagerly anticipated debut for Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku has been devising novel activities to occupy his time during the international break. Since the Blues drew 4-4 with Manchester City last weekend, the 26-year-old has been celebrating his birthday. He is aiming to make his competitive debut before the new year.

“He told me I wanted to be ready for Newcastle after the international break,” Mauricio Pochettino said prior to that match. “We had a conversation.” “I asked him yesterday [about a return] and he said ‘hmmm,'” he elaborated. “And I said you are liar!”

On November 25, Chelsea travel to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle in their first game back. However, this is likely too early for the Frenchman, as Eddie Howe’s squad will also be at Stamford Bridge in late December for a Carabao Cup match. Regardless, he has had a frustrating beginning to his existence.

The former RB Leipzig player has resumed grass training at Cobham, but the majority of his teammates are currently abroad on international duty. His personal trainer, on the other hand, has ensured that the situation remains entertaining.

PRP Team, led by Jerome Andral, advertised a challenge involving Nkunku, on-loan right-back Colin Dagba of Paris Saint-Germain, and Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool via Instagram on Saturday afternoon with the thematic description ‘challenge of the week.’ Konate, who was anticipated to face Nkunku on the first day of Liverpool’s visit to SW6, is presently on international duty with Didier Deschamps’ squad.

Nkunku emerged victorious in the competition by performing 51 correct reaction buttons on the floor and maintaining an off-the-ground side-plank position with his feet elevated on an exercise ball, as disclosed in a subsequent post to his story. In an attempt at humor, this provides Nkunku with an additional positive indication as he readies himself to return to the field.

At this point in the season, he would have anticipated being in the running for a starting position for Les Bleus. However, since sustaining a devastating knee injury in the final game of the tour of America in August, he has been sidelined since preseason. On the contrary, Konate is included in the squad and will be looking to help France earn its seventh consecutive victory in Group B on Saturday against inconsequential Gibraltar.

With two games remaining to qualify for Euro 2024, the defending champions of the 2018 World Cup will be looking to improve upon their 2016 home final loss to Portugal. Nkunku, whose strength lies in the attacking options, has yet to firmly establish himself in the national team. However, he will be striving to alter that circumstance once he begins playing for Chelsea.
