When fit Christopher Nkunku and Levi Colwill are very important players for Chelsea. However, injuries have kept them out for some time.

Christopher Nkunku and Levi Colwill have returned to team training but will not be involved in Thursday’s game against Tottenham.

While addressing the media ahead of the game against Tottenham, Pochettino said: “They were training.

“Today, normally, we prepare the game for tomorrow. We did some set-pieces, tactical work, and meetings.

“They are nearly there. They are on the line, but they don’t cross the line. We hope they will cross the line for West Ham on Sunday.

“We hope. But still, we need to wait until tomorrow, Friday and Saturday to see if they can cope with the competition. What it means on the website is that they are close and they are nearly capable.”
