Mauricio Pochettino said Chelsea needed to assess Christopher Nkunku after the forward limped off with a knee injury against Borussia Dortmund. Nkunku was forced off during the first half of Chelsea’s 1-1 draw in Chicago and faces a fight to be fit for the start of the Premier League season.
Pochettino, whose side host Liverpool on 13 August, said: “The doctors are checking him and I hope it’s not a big issue He fell in the action which was maybe a penalty and he feels something in his knee. We hope he can be back quickly with the team. We need a few days to assess him.”
