Last summer, Christopher Nkunku, who joined London's Chelsea, suffered a serious injury during the preseason and has only played four games so far.

Although the 26-year-old Frenchman made his official debut with Chelsea in December, the footballer will once again miss some time due to injury.

C. Nkunku already missed the FA Cup weekend match, and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed on Monday that the forward will not be available for Tuesday's first leg of the English League Cup semifinal.

"Nkunku will not be available for the team on Tuesday. We are taking all possible precautions. We hope Nkunku will return to the lineup soon. This time the problem is not serious."

"I can only say that this injury is not related to the one Christopher suffered in the summer," said M. Pochettino.
