Christopher Nkunku Injury: Absent from friendly

Nkunku was left out of Friday's friendly clash with Leverkusen, due to a potential transfer.

Nkunku has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, doubly so following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. The striker has been training and is fit, but wasn't included in the squad as Chelsea look to move him out of the squad. Nkunku scored three goals and added two assists in 27 appearances (nine starts) last season, before Chelsea decided to look elsewhere for attacking threat.
