The winger is expected to return after the international break
Attacking midfielder Chelsea Christopher Nkunku will not play in the match of the 12th round of the English Championship against Manchester City.
It is reported that the French winger is not yet fully ready to return to the field and the London club does not want to risk his health. Nkunku is set to return to first-team action for the Blues after the international break.
This season, the 25-year-old Frenchman has not played a single official match for the London team. Let us remind you that Nkunku suffered a knee injury in the first half of the test match against Borussia Dortmund, which took place on August 3. Christopher underwent surgery and was undergoing a recovery period.
Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig last summer. The transfer amount was 60 million euros.
Chelsea are in tenth place in the Premier League standings. The match against Manchester City will take place on November 12 at 18:30 Kyiv time.
