Christopher Nkunku - Could return before season's end Nkunku (hamstring) won't play Saturday against Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinals, but manager Mauricio Pochettino said he's hopeful of having the French winger back at some... Impact The loss of Nkunku is a big one for Chelsea since he's an extremely talented player who can change the course of a game on his own, but it's not like it'll alter the team's plan too much, as he's missed most of the season with injuries. Regardless, this is an update in a positive direction for the Frenchman, who still has a shot at playing for the Blues before the campaign ends in mid-May, though a precise date for his potential return has yet to be provided. Nkunku has been limited to just seven appearances (two starts) in the Premier League this season, bagging two goals.
