Christopher Nkunku has returned to training with his teammates after a long period out with injury. However, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez face several weeks on the sidelines due to knee injury.

Christopher Nkunku has not played a single minute in an official match for Chelsea since arriving last summer. However, his Premier League debut with the Blues is getting closer and closer.

The 26-year-old has already returned to full training with his teammates and completed Friday's training session ahead of the encounter against Sheffield United.

Both the board and manager Mauricio Pochettino agree that they will not risk the midfielder until he has fully recovered. But he could play his first official minutes in Saturday's match.

French right-back Malo Gusto also took part in Friday's training session after suffering a knee injury. However, it's not all good news for Chelsea. Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez and Reece James face several weeks on the sidelines after receiving medical results.
