Chelsea\u2019s pursuit of French international and RB Leipzig\u2019s in form attacker, Christopher Nkunku has been hit with a huge blow after the attacker got injured in training at France\u2019s training base.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been alleged that the player has bruised his ankle and will therefore not be available for the World Cup tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes after the West London club were reported to have completed the negotiations for the player and were preparing an announcement to finalize the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not yet known the extent of the injury but sources around the player have indicated that the injury is a bad one and could actually rule the player out for a long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is believed to hamper Chelsea\u2019s progress in the transfer market as they would either have to search for alternative options or wait for news about the player\u2019s possible return from injury before making any moves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, France is expected to make another call up to a new player to replace injured Nkunku and it is expected that Manchester United\u2019s Anthony Martial will be the replacement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
