Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Christopher Nkunku has suffered a new hip injury after he was absent from Chelsea’s FA Cup game against Preston. The French forward was not involved in any capacity as the Blues progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win against the Championship club at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Regarding this absence, Pochettino confirmed that the Frenchman has been dealt a fresh injury blow. “It’s really tough, I think you empathize with us. The circumstances are really tough. Sometimes it is difficult to explain to you and you to translate to our fans,” he said in a press conference.

“Nkunku, we don’t want to put pressure on him. We know it is difficult after a long time injured. Six months away, like now he wasn’t involved because he suffered after training a problem in his hip and we need to see if he can be ready for the next few games. They need to play also to get the best and we cannot provide this game time to players that need to go and feel competition because we need to win. Sometimes it’s really tough to explain to the players who feel the pressure to perform and to play. Sometimes it is difficult to explain but if you understand football you realize how tough it is.”
