This is a separate injury - the knee has recovered, apparently he got clattered in training and he has a hip problem now.
Nkunku | Chelsea player
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
i have quite a lot of his furniture in my house. i think those who don’t rate him are just jealous that they can’t afford to shop there.
Ah ok, I thought it might be one of those overcompensating injuries.
Hahahahaha
We’re heading into March and Nkunku has been available for no more than 6-7 games. Might as well shut him down for the season and tell him focus on being fit and ready to go for next season.

He'll never be fit for a prolonged period. Writing is on the wall. Unlucky for you.
Missed 7 games in 20/21, 0 in 21/22 then missed 22 games in 22/23 and now already at 27 missed games in 23/24.
I wonder if Leipzig ran him into the ground in the 21/22 campaign. He played every game in Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Champions League and Europa League for them. 52 games, 48 of those as a starter, 82 minutes playing time on average.

I've seen this guy twice and both times he was very disappointing.
Possibly both times he was coming back from injury and wasn't 100% but nothing impressive.

Were the two times both for Chelsea? If so then they were definitely when he was coming back from injury.
Yes. I don't watch that other league
Still early of course, but reminds me a bit of Keita, coming from RB Leipzig, only to be permanently injured.
Your comeuppance for mount i guess.
He's always just coming back from injury.
Yes, that's why I posted what I posted.
I was expecting a lot more. He had a great season with Leipzig and in the Champions League a couple of years ago and I really wanted him at United. I guess injuries and possible burnout have had their toll on him. Always seems injured and doesn't look the same the same player at Chelsea.
This was another galaxy brained move from Boehly et al, thinking they were stealing a march on everybody by reaching an agreement with Nkunku in December 2022 to sign for them the following summer but really they were signing a player without being able to evaluate how he would come back from a significant knee injury and how his body would hold up afterward (he got another major injury a few games after he returned). He hasn't been able to stay healthy for longer than six weeks straight since November 2022.
Louis saha was more available than this kid.
Now which premier league club is going to break the bank for Olmo?
Boehly’s preparing a 100 million bid as we speak.

Looks another waste of money.
Early days though so I’ll file him with Mount for the time being. Only difference being we know Mount can do it in the PL whilst Nkunku remains unproven.

Hahah…brilliant
Bit harsh.
I know. Mason will come good soon enough. Apologies.
He´s missed 17 league games in his career prior to this year. He´s now missed 17 games this season. So a little disingenuous to say he´s injury prone.
