Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku will be out for "an
extended period" after undergoing surgery on his injured knee.
The France
forward, 25, suffered the problem during the first half of Chelsea's pre-season
friendly against Borussia Dortmund in Chicago last week. Blues boss Mauricio
Pochettino said at the time he hoped the injury would not be a "big
issue" for his £52m striker.
Chelsea,
who host Liverpool in their Premier League opener on Sunday, have not specified
a length of absence.
His
unavailability is a blow to Pochettino's new-look Chelsea as they bid to
improve on a poor goal record that saw them score just 38 times in the Premier
League last season on the way to a 12th-place finish.
