Chelsea gear up for tomorrow's clash against Fulham at Stamford Bridge. Good vibes as Ben Chilwell and Benoit Badiashile are set to make a comeback, adding strength to Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
Even more positivity as Carney Chukwuemeka and Trevoh Chalobah are on the mend, getting ready to join the action soon. However, it's a bit of a bummer with Christopher Nkunku still on the sidelines due to an issue post his return from a long-term injury last month
Quoted by Chelseafc.com, Pochettino said: "It is good news about Chilwell and Benoit, and we need to assess if Carney will be available or not. But Chilly and Benoit, yes, for sure they will be involved in the squad for tomorrow."
"The other good news is that Trevoh has rejoined the team and started to work with the group. Now we need to assess him day by day and see when he can help us. He is doing well and it’s a good sign that Trevoh is training with the team."
"We are a little bit worried about the situation of Nkunku because it’s 10 days that he cannot train and we are assessing him, but it’s good news on the other side that players like Chalobah, Chilwell, Badiashile and Chukwuemeka are so close to being involved again and to help the team to perform."
Pochettion elaborated on Nkunku's problem: "We thought it was a small issue but now it looks more complicated."
"Now it is 10 days without him training. After six months waiting for him and now, after being so close to him feeling comfortable and after starting the game against Palace, of course we are disappointed by that. We are a little bit worried because we want him to be back involved again as soon as possible."
On Robert Sanchez, Chelsea coach added: "We are so happy because the specialist said his evolution is really good and today he was running on the pitch. In the next few days, he will do more running to try to see how his knee reacts, but it’s in a very good positive evolution."
