Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku has taken to social media to hint that he is getting closer to making his return from injury.
He posted on his own Instagram that a recovery was ‘in progress’ as he looks ahead to making his official debut for the club.
It was an unfortunate moment in pre-season that has stopped the Stamford Bridge faithful from seeing their new £52m signing domestically as of yet.
Off the back of what was looking like an extremely prosperous tour for the Frenchman, he suffered an injury in the final game against Borussia Dortmund.
This has undoubtedly had an effect on Chelsea’s start to the season. Mauricio Pochettino was absolutely building his team around Nkunku.
His goalscoring ability is something they are absolutely missing right now, with them only managing five goals in as many games this season.
Sunday’s draw against Bournemouth showed exactly what the issue is right now at Stamford Bridge.
A number of players missed huge opportunities to find the net, and therefore they left the south coast with just a point.
There will be plenty of folks just counting down the days until the player returns from injury, and therefore will be keen to know when exactly he is set to be back in action.
That is why there may be some positivity gained from his recent Instagram post, suggesting that his recovery was firmly ‘in progress’.
He posted a number of recovery photos to go alongside the caption, suggesting that things are on the right track towards him making a return to action soon.
