One returning injured Chelsea player has reportedly told Mauricio Pochettino to put him in the squad to face Newcastle tomorrow.
But it looks like he may just have to wait an extra game or two.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea will move again to sign player they were very close to signing in the summer!
Christopher Nkunku has yet to play competitively for Chelsea since he officially joined in the summer. But he is back in group training and wanting to be back in the squad now.
