Christopher Nkunku

Analysis: Nkunku had a strong display coming off the bench at halftime, pacing his side in attempts and keeping his aplomb from the spot, ending a 12-game scoring drought. He'll likely start versus Genoa due to Rafael Leao's suspension and Christian Pulisic's (glute) subpar fitness.

Waiting on transfer

Nkunku will remain out of Chelsea's squad until a move elsewhere.

Analysis: Nkunku was playing in preseason until it was confirmed he was done at the club. He's been fit and ready for the past two weeks, but nothing has solidified in terms of his departure. Following a disappointing stint at Chelsea, there have been some reports of a possible move back to RB Leipzig where he scored 36 goals across the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons.
