At Chelsea, things haven't exactly been joyful for Christopher Nkunku since the start of the Premier League season. Indeed, his trainer Enzo Maresca only started him once. Enough to push the striker of the French team to reflect on his future which could hypothetically be written at PSG, his training club. In the middle of all this, Didier Deschamps would promise him a place in attack against Italy.
The absence of Christopher Nkunku in the starting lineup Chelsea at the start of the season is not due to physical problems as may have been the case in the past. The attacking midfielder and attacker trained in PSG is in full possession of his means, but Enzo Maresca prefers to rely on You Maduek, Cole Palmer or even Pedro Neto.
“We will not have the same opposition as that of Thursday”
The Team revealed in recent days that his lack of playing time as a starter in Premier League could encourage him to look elsewhere during the next transfer window. PSG has not yet positioned itself, but is likely to rectify the situation shortly. In French team, Didier Deschamps trusts him by selecting him despite everything. And at a press conference this Saturday, the coach admitted to predicting a nice turnover of players compared to the draw against Israel Thursday (0-0).
“We will not have the same opposition as that of Thursday. You need to see as many players as possible on the pitch. There are no definitive conclusions regarding a successful match or not. There are important passages.”
In full doubt, Nkunku starting against Italy?
According to information disclosed by The Team this Saturday, Didier Deschamps should indeed make big changes within his starting eleven. William Saliba will reinstate him, in the same way asAdrien Rabiot or even Christopher Nkunku. The attacker in great sporting difficulty Chelsea will therefore be able to conclude the actions of the France team with Marcus Thuram against theItaly Sunday evening. Enough to bring comfort to his heart in this period of uncertainty and possible departure in the winter transfer window of the Parisian titi.
