Initially expected to be out for six weeks, Chukwuemeka’s return to team training suggests that his recovery is progressing on schedule. While it’s unlikely that Mauricio Pochettino will risk the player against Fulham on Monday, there’s speculation that Chukwuemeka might make his comeback against Burnley at Turf Moor on October 7.
The young talent’s return to the pitch is eagerly awaited by fans, and his comeback could bring added strength to Chelsea’s squad. As he resumes full training, all eyes will be on Chukwuemeka as he works towards making a triumphant return to competitive football.
