Chelsea have released an official statement regarding Christopher Nkunku's injury and return date.
The 25-year-old has experienced a knee injury that will keep the forward sidelined for a prolonged duration. He has already undergone a surgical procedure and is now set to initiate a recovery plan under the supervision of the club's medical team. It is seen the France-international will return to action in around 16 weeks.
During Chelsea's last pre-season match against Borussia Dortmund in Chicago, the Nkunku had to leave the field in the 22nd minute due to a tackle from Mat Hummels.
