Chelsea Manager Pochettino broke down in tears as another Key Chelsea player goes off injured during their last match and won’t be available to against Fulham, a very sad moment for Chelsea fans as he seems to be out for 3 months

We have good news about Benoit and Chilwell, and we need to determine whether Carney Chukwuemeka will be ready or not.’ When questioned about the latest team news, Pochettino remarked during his pre-match press conference on Friday.

‘But Chilly and Benoit, Chilly absolutely, they will be in the team for tomorrow.

‘The good news is that Trevoh Chalobah has joined the team and has begun working with the group, and now we need to assess day by day to see if he can help us as quickly as possible.

‘But he’s doing well, and it’s a wonderful thing Trevoh is again training with the club, rejoining the team.

‘It’s always crucial when you recover important players that they can be involved.

‘However, I’m concerned about Nkunku’s predicament because he hasn’t been able to practice for 10 days and we’re currently assessing him.

‘We have no idea what will happen. I’m concerned about Nkunku’s position, but I think it’s excellent news on the other side [of the coin] that players like Chalobah, Chilwell, Badiashile, and Chukwuemeka are so close to returning and helping the team perform.’

Asked if Nkunku’s setback was greater than originally thought, Pochettino continued: ‘I recall my first news conference after he suffered a tiny issue and then all was complicated.

‘And now I suppose it’s nearly 10 days that he is not practicing, eight or 10, and of course after six months that we were wating for him and now when he was so close again to feeling comfortable, he started against Palace.

‘And, of course, disappointed and concerned, because I believe we want him to be active again as soon as possible.’
