Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku coud return to training this week

It's not all bad news for Chelsea this season. Blues striker Christopher Nkunku has stepped up his recovery from a hip injury and could return to training this week, according to the 'Daily Mail'.

The France international has been out of action since coming off the bench in Mauricio Pochettino's 3-2 win over Luton Town at the end of December. 

The Argentinian coach himself admitted at a press conference a few days ago that he was "worried" about his striker's injury, which could further exacerbate the London side's goal drought. 

The former Leipzig man has made just four official appearances for the Stamford Bridge outfit since his arrival, one of them as a starter, in which he has scored one goal and failed to provide any assists.
