Christopher Nkunku ruled out for three months with knee injury

Chelsea Football Club has released statement about Christopher Nkunku on his injury situation.

Nkunku has sustained a knee injury which will rule the forward out for an extended period.

The 25-year-old has undergone an operation and will now begin a rehabilitation programme with the club’s medical department.

Christopher Nkunku suffered a knee injury during the Blues preseason friendly against Borussia Dortmund which ended 1-1 in Chicago.

He was signed from RB Leipzig in the summer with £53m.

The French U21 forward was a joint top scorer in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 16 times after recovering from injury that has sent him out again.
