Christopher Nkunku was forced off the pitch in Chelsea's final friendly match versus Borussia Dortmund in Chicago and has now had to undergo an operation
Chelsea have confirmed that Christopher Nkunku will be out for an 'extended period' after picking up a knee injury against Borussia Dortmund during the club's pre-season tour.
The France international needed to be substituted in the first half of the west London side's final pre-season friendly with a knee issue that has resulted in the 25-year-old requiring an operation. That has taken place and Nkunku will now undergo rehabilitation with the club's medical department.
It is believed the forward who arrived for £52million earlier this summer could be out for a number of months having been set to play more minutes than his teammates in pre-season before being forced off against the Blues' German opponents.
Chelsea provided an update on Tuesday which said: "Nkunku has sustained a knee injury which will rule the forward out for an extended period. The 25-year-old has undergone an operation and will now begin a rehabilitation programme with the club's medical department."
