Premier League: Nkunku hoped for with Chelsea against Liverpool

French striker Christopher Nkunku will travel with Chelsea for the championship clash on Wednesday (9:15 p.m.) at leader Liverpool, coach Mauricio Pochettino announced on Tuesday, deprived of his star recruit since the start of 2024. Both French “Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku will be with us in the group tomorrow (Wednesday). We will wait until the last moment but for now it is good news,” said the Argentinian at a press conference.

The defender who arrived from Lyon last summer missed the last two matches, in the League Cup and FA Cup, due to a muscular problem. As for Nkunku, he missed the entire start of 2024 due to a hip injury. The ex-Leipzig striker had already missed the first four months of the season after a serious knee injury.

The return of the player trained at Paris Saint-Germain, who appeared only four times in official matches in December, raises great hopes for Chelsea, often penalized this season by a lack of offensive success. In attack, Pochettino also hopes to be able to count on Nicolas Jackson, Senegal center forward, “if he arrives in time” after his elimination in the African Cup of Nations. The coach will also be without Levi Colwill in defense, injured in a tendon. Chelsea are in ninth place in the table before the trip to leader Liverpool, where local fans will once again celebrate their coach Jürgen Klopp, a few days after the surprise announcement of his departure at the end of the season.

“Every time they play at Anfield it will be a celebration to pay tribute to him, to show him all the love they have for him. But we are thinking about going there to win. We do not want to take part in the festivities,” warned Pochettino.
