Nkunku, Colwill, and Gusto’s injury updates for Chelsea matchday and anticipated return dates ahead of the Wolves fixture.
Chelsea may be missing a key player as they face Wolves today, while the availability of another teammate remains uncertain. Following a lackluster performance resulting in a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea aims to bounce back before the Carabao Cup final on February 25, with four upcoming fixtures to find their form.
Despite challenges this season, Mauricio Pochettino has made Stamford Bridge a tough venue for opponents, with Chelsea undefeated in their last 10 matches since October.
Wolves present a formidable challenge, seeking to recover from a devastating 4-3 loss to Manchester United, where they initially equalized in stoppage time. Prior to that match, they went unbeaten for seven games, including a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Pochettino has faced numerous injury setbacks this season, potentially resulting in double-digit absences for the upcoming match against Gary O’Neil’s side. Nicolas Jackson, the Senegal striker, is uncertain for inclusion after being sidelined from the Africa Cup of Nations and missing the Liverpool trip.
Pochettino commented on Jackson’s situation, stating, “Today was his first training session with us. He didn’t play too much but of course, was one month away. That is why we need to assess him and not take a risk. But for sure, he will be involved if nothing happens tomorrow with the squad.”
