Positive update claims Nkunku is “fine” and could play next week
RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins has just tweeted a positive update on the fitness of Christopher Nkunku, who missed last night's game after a confusing week of conflicting messages regarding a hip problem.
Hawkins' tweet says his absence last night was “just precautionary” and that Nkunku is “fine.”
It's a bit confusing as Mauricio Pochettino seemed to indicate this would be a multi-week issue, but Hawkins is well connected and RMC Sport is a serious media operation in France, so we're sure he wouldn't say this if he didn't. know right
Perhaps we took Pochettino's comments too literally, or perhaps he was simply downplaying expectations when he said he had to “see if (Nkunku) can be ready for the next games” (Goal).
Either way, it is vital that we get Nkunku back as soon as possible – the team once again looked terrible without him in attack last night, and another spell on the sidelines could prove fatal to our chances of achieving anything this season.
